I originally spotted this at TUAW - it’s a great roundup of all the available password storage software for Mac OSX.

Pretty slick app if you’re a diabetic and using a mac - check out the Diabetes Log Book. It’s free (donationware) and definitely a worthy little tool if you need such software. It’s a great improvement over the messy open office spreadsheet I’ve been using for the last several years.
This is a universal binary if you’re on an intel mac. It’s also fairly early in its development but in my couple of days of use I’ve seen no real issues. It’s also from the UK but includes preference settings so you can switch it to US measurements.
What a great weekend I had. I was headed to Lake George in upstate New York for a long weekend camping trip and decided to take back roads through Vermont rather than the highway. This added over an hour to the travel time (it ended up taking about 4 hours) but in return Soolin and I were treated to absolutely beautiful scenery. I cut west from route 89 in Vermont, taking rt’s 107 -> 100 -> 73 -> 74, which cut through the northern end of the Green Mountains National Forest, mostly by following rivers. It was spectacular, the more so because the rivers were all running very high after several days of rain. Plus rt 74 terminates on the west end at a cable ferry that crosses the southern end of Lake Champlain.
The camping itself was cool - lots of kids, several dogs, and many harried adults. I had a great time. There are pictures in my gallery, you can use the links at the top of the page to access it. The weather ended up being decent too.
On the way back I took a similar route - all back roads, this time rt 22 -> 7 -> 9, and from there back onto 91 south and home. Great great stuff, I think I have finally found my playground to replace the mountains of the adirondacks.
Check out the results of this auction on ebay, where a boxed set of the original dungeons and dragons books sold for over $5,000. I’m pretty sure my buddy Mike’s sister Tracy had this boxed set when we were kids, and they’re the books I originally learned from way back in jr. high school. Who knew how valuable they were one day destined to become, and would that I had kept a hold of them.
I’ll note that ebay only stores finished auctions for a short time, so ultimately the link will die - click it quick if you’re curious.
Just want to take a moment to observe once again that Gallery is one of the greatest open source projects available. I updated to the newest version this weekend and once again the process was smooth, well documented, and glitch-free. This update adds back in a feature from the original Gallery 1 version - RSS feeds for galleries, which means you can now subscribe to the RSS feed for the gallery again and know when I’ve posted new pictures. The link to the feed is on the right column of this page along with the other feeds.
Recipe for a fun long weekend over the 4th of July: First, spend 2 days exploring the area looking for good swimming holes. I found several good ones for Soolin. None for me, alas, but at least I have one in my back pocket for the steamy July and August months. Anyway, second, go tubing on the Batten Kill river with friends. Take lots of pictures. Third: Spend an entire day doing absolutely nothing, recuperating from it all. I had a blast and love that it’s a short work week this week as well.
There are new photos in the gallery of the tubing trip including some movies, use the gallery link at the top of this page to get there.
