For a long long time, in a land far far away, I’ve been writing and remembering, and, yes, forgetting, my numerous and more than numerous passwords. Over time, as I subscribe to more and more password embellished sites and services my password scribbles and clever remembering tricks have gotten messy, tedious and burdensome. I have 1Password for Safari but browse mostly in FireFox (love affair with the Web Developer tool bar and Firebug) where the version I have does not work. I was going to upgrade so that I can use it in FireFox but found this add-on, LastPass, seems like a no brainer. It’s free. And convenient. And secure. Works from any platform or browser application. Add it, use it, and stop the password headaches.

Desmond Tutu quote
When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said “Let us pray.” We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land. by Desmond Tutu
South African puppet show satire doesn’t make it to tv but does make it online
Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu as cranky puppets? South African politicians don’t like being satirized in a tv news puppet show.
While originally intended to broadcast on the South African public tv station this show had the plug pulled on it. Widely speculated is the theory that certain of the satirized politicians did not like the unglamorous representation of themselves. A few calls, a little arm twisting and it’s gone. But is it? These puppets can be seen in all their glory online.
