Online Password Safe

DataInherit (a Swiss company that provides online safes) announced that it will be providing online password safes as well.  There is both a free and paid-for version of the safe.  The free version has less storage space and can save fewer passwords (50 max).

One very nice feature is the Data Inheritance system.  You can set up a beneficiary that will be given access to your account in the event that something happens to the owner of the account.  The beneficiary must provide an activation code, and the company will attempt to contact the owner via email and SMS message.  If the owner does not respond within a specified amount of time, the beneficiary will be given access to the account.  So if something happens, your beneficiary would be able to access your online accounts such as bank and credit card accounts!

Part of the free version also includes a document safe that would allow you to store up to 10MB of documents.

The advantage of this solution over other passwords safes such as KeePass is that you do not need to keep the file with you -- you access the passwords through a website.  The site also states that it does not have access to the passwords either -- all data is encrypted.

Words of Wisdom for 2010....

A group of 70 other innovators, writers, and bloggers to participate in a project called What Matters Now. Each suggested one word — literally one word — that all of us should think about in 2010, and then took one page to explain why and how that word matters.

Very interesting to read.  Some of my favorites are:
Ease -- basically, we all need to relax a bit more!
Strengths -- focus on what you are good at  "till the purple cows come home!"
Change -- similar to the strength one -- focus on what does work!
