We hope to launch a service precisely to help with this (toofactor.com). It's great to see this additional attention and options in the space.
Google Authenticator is a great service imho, but I find myself moreso pleased with the 'application specific' password feature which allows me to abstract my exposure even further.
Unfortunately those application-specific passwords aren't particularly application specific, at least in Google's implementation -- any of them can be used for anything.
If someone built a system which could restrict passwords or keys by some kind of capabilities (e.g. my Adium gtalk password could only be used to authenticate to Google's Jabber servers), that would be useful. It would be complex to manage, especially as your applications change over time, but not impossible.
I've recently moved to using 1password (prior to that, Lastpass). I was skeptical at first, but have grown to embrace 1password more and more and find myself annoyed when sites will not allow my standard, 1pass generated passwords (50 characters).
That said, two factor for anything of critical importance (in my case, gmail and work email).
I've recently thrown my hat in with Things, with the Beta now supporting Cloud syncing. I'm a minimalist, GTD-leaning sorta guy and this fits perfectly with my workflow.
This rings true for Humanities Phd's as well. It's difficult to describe the cycle of guilt, drive and passion somehow all wrapped together. This is a great overview.
I'll second the motion from the biology department. The trials of finding the right mentor, navigating the waters around the Cape of Publication, and maintaining your passion seem to be common throughout academia. Definitely an informative read, regardless of the specific academic field.
Color me disappointed. At this stage, I'd hope Ycomb would have the economic freedom (and desire) to fund socially significant startups beyond yet-more-coupon refactors and facebook-for-cats projects.
We participate in a homeschool group (secular) which has a small number of families, as well as a co-operative (which folks teach various classes). We found both through Yahoo groups for our area (hamptonroads, va). I'll admit I was skeptical at first but now can't imagine not homeschooling.
