1Password and Dropbox
Rob Griffiths (a MacWorld Contributing Editor and the creator of the Mac OS X Hints site) demonstrates something that I’ve been doing — and loving — for a while: Using Dropbox to synchronize your 1Password data across all your Macs! LINK TO VIDEO HERE
1Password is one of a slew of newer applications that help regular people (not just the Über-geeky) to make and use stronger passwords. Though some might disagree, I think that the risk of not using a strong password is greater than the risk from sending encrypted password data via https onto an encrypted server. Highly recommended!

Speaking of the Über-geeky, what do you get when you cross a Hardware Engineer with a Detective? Bunnie…P.I.?!!? Read how Andrew “Bunnie” Huang used his M.I.T.-honed skills to uncover a mystery — and be thankful that some people know what the hell they’re doing in this world. Somebody get that man a mustache, eh?

Let’s make this a “bunnie two-fer”: Regular readers know that I’m a fan of the Chumby devices that he created — and Engadget has a short post (and a UI walk-through) about a new Chumby-powered prototype that they spotted at the MWC 2010 show. Let’s hope that this ends up as more than a conceptual reference design!

Dropbox Filling Up Your Hard Drive?
Use a new Dashboard widget to monitor the size of the cache and clear it out with the push of a button when it gets too big!
I’ve been testing out Dropbox as a way to sync my 1Password files between computers (which works really well) and, more experimentally, to share a single iTunes Library (which… doesn’t work so well).
A few days after installing it, I started getting “Your Startup Disk Is Almost Full” messages. Having had a similar experience with a client who was backing up to Apple’s .MAC service, I quickly zeroed in on Dropbox as the culprit. A quick bit of Google-Fu found other people having the same issue — and it also found a solution.
