Joel was looking for a solution to his password storage and syncronization issue over at StackOverflow. So I sent him an MP3 quote and they played it on their podcast.  Joel liked the solution, Jeff not so much, but his solution is to just memorize a few passwords.

Their podcast is hosted by IT Conversations now.  They played at 57:14 – The audio quality isn’t great.
