DNP Crayolascope hacks toys into footthick 3D display

Artist Blair Neal, as many other great creators have before him, turned to children's toys as the source of inspiration for his latest project. Crayolascope is a rudimentary 3D display hacked together from several Glow Books, a light-up play on a flip-book from the titular company. The installation, currently housed at the New York Hall of Science in Flushing, layers 12 of its component clear plastic sheets to create a roughly one-foot deep display that plays a simple pre-drawn animation. The whole thing is controlled by an Arduino Mega, that can either play back the neon scribbles at varying speeds (controlled by a knob built into the console) or scrub through frame by frame. Neal isn't quite done tweaking the Crayolascope either. As it stands he's limited to between 14 and 18 frames, before it becomes too difficult to see through the sheets. And it requires near total darkness for optimal operation. To see it in action check out the video after the break.

Centennial Potato Plot helping Presque Isle hospital celebrate ...

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine ? A unique project is under way in Aroostook County to illustrate how a 100-year-old hospital took root in the area.

Officials from The Aroostook Medical Center, Cavendish Produce and Northeast Packaging Company gathered in a Presque Isle potato field early Monday to officially dedicate the TAMC Centennial Potato Plot.

The two-acre section of a field on U.S. Route 1 between Presque Isle and Caribou celebrates the hospital and its ties to agriculture.

According to hospital officials, the idea for what is now TAMC was envisioned by Frank White, an attorney, in 1908. During that time, he made frequent trips to outlying farms and neighboring smaller communities by horse and wagon, soliciting donations.

Through the efforts of White and other community leaders, Presque Isle General Hospital was incorporated on April 8, 1912. The hospital was sustained through the years by public donations, not only of money, but of food, furnishings and linens.

Cavendish Produce donated the two acres of russet potatoes that have already been planted.

Plans are for TAMC employees and their family members to harvest the field by hand in early October. The future of the harvested potatoes involves Northeast Packaging Company.

Bob Umphrey, president of the company, said Monday that a special commemorative five-pound potato bag will be designed to recognize TAMC?s centennial. That process will include an art contest to engage members of the public.

?We are launching an open contest to help us design one side of this special bag,? he explained. Northeast Packaging Company will produce the packaging later this summer in time for the harvesting of the potatoes.

A panel of judges from Northeast Packaging Company, Cavendish and TAMC will review the entries and pick a winner. The selected design will be unveiled at the Maine Potato Blossom Festival on the judges reviewing stand on Saturday, July 21, just before the parade during a new event called the Spuddy Recovery Triathlon organized and co-sponsored by TAMC.

Once the potatoes are harvested and placed in the special commemorative bags, TAMC will send the spuds to statewide elected officials and other dignitaries. U.S. Sen. Susan Collins has agreed to see to it that a bag is delivered to the White House. In addition, TAMC intends to provide commemorative bags of potatoes to attendees at their annual Fall Health Fair, which this year will be themed Harvest, History and Health.

?We are so grateful to these two generous companies for working collaboratively with TAMC and making this unique project possible,? said Lynn Lombard, chairperson of the TAMC Board of Trustees. ?As we continue to mark 100 years of The Aroostook Medical Center, our hope is to engage as many residents as possible in the celebration. Certainly, the TAMC Centennial Potato Plot will be a visible reminder all summer long and into the fall of the significant contributions of both the agricultural community and TAMC to our wonderful quality of life here in The County.?

The design contest is open to all ages and will run through July 12. A special entry form, complete with contest rules and a designated area to match the printable space on the potato bag are available and will be mailed to prospective entrants.

For information on the contest or to have an official entry form mailed, call 768-4044 or email bcaron@tamc.org.

Why do I love you? - Story to go with TDG

Why do I love you?
NOT A SONG FIC!
Song Inspiration - Three Days Grace, I hate everything about you

Here I sit, broken hearted. My facial features illuminated by Candlelight. The room is dark, with one slowly burning candle for some source of light. My breath was visible and pure white, the windows are broken, along with the door. They are all wide open. It must have been early morning, atleast Four. There is no sunlight here in Estonia during winter. The torn and tattered couch I sit on is coated with snow, forcing an icy chill through it. The dilapidated building I'm in is in dire need of repair, but it will never come.

My tears are like little crystals of ice, spilling from my eyes, and trickling down my cheeks before freezing. The moment he said those words, I was as good as dead. I would have preferred it - As it would have been less painful. It was a few words, no more. But their meaning was clear.

"Skye, tell me one thing." He said, and I looked at him happily. "Anything." I grinned.

"Why do I love you?" He asked, and my face dropped. "I hate everything about you - But I just can't separate us."

His words were like the ice that surrounds me. But only when I stop to think about him, the hatred bubbles inside of me.

He stood up, and walked over to the door. "At last, I can leave. Goodbye, Skye. I hate you." He hissed, opening the door and walking through it. He slammed it, and it fell off the hinges.

Two years have passed since he said that. Those cold, painful words still echo inside of my head. I don't miss him.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

This will be my deathbed. I know it. That innocent icy puddle of tears is overflowing. It is covering me. Soon, I'll be a corpse with pneumonia. It doesn't take long. It's five in the morning now, and that warm little candle is as good as gone now. My skin is freezing and wet, and I feel so cold.

And yet, just as my story began, Here I sit. All broken hearted. My life went to sh*t, and my world ended.

The Zionist Infestation Of Africa Revisited: The More Details, The More Devils - Part 1

"Our fight is an unbroken one, struggling steadfastly in the shadows; our defiance is an undying force, striking fear into the blackened hearts of the totalitarian tribe." ~ Jonathan Azaziahby Jonathan Azaziah

As the clich? famously goes when one attempts to point out the mysterious or little-known intricacies of a certain historical event, ?the devil is in the details.? An extension of this idiom, when it is applied to the shadowy world of the tribal supremacist persons who govern geopolitics through their kinship networks that extend throughout every sector of society, would most aptly be, ?the more details, the more devils.? And nowhere is this addendum more appropriately put to use than the ravaged continent of Africa.

In Mask of Zion?s first report on Jewish-Zionist intrigues in Africa, ?The Zionist Infestation Of Africa: Zimbabwe To Uganda, Congo To Somalia And Beyond (1),? numerous nations, events and figures were investigated and a plethora of previously suppressed or unknown truths were brought to light for the very first time. This second summary will expound upon many of these revelations, exposing new players, going behind the curtains of new nations and returning to critical plot points already discussed to present an even more damning account of the overall agenda of the Jewish exploitation machine vigorously gnawing at the core of the African continent. Thus, ?the more details, the more devils,? and assuredly, the following will not contain a shortage of either.

The Zionist Entity?s Water Wars: Sudan, Egypt and Libya

Abdullahi Al Azreg, Sudan?s Ambassador to Britain, recently gave a stunningly candid interview to the Islamic Republic of Iran?s Press TV in regards to the ongoing conflict between his nation and the artificial country known as ?South Sudan?. Ambassador Al Azreg stated unequivocally that the South Sudan regime was engaged in a ?proxy war to execute the projects of the Zionist movement?; he further declared them ?puppets,? not only carrying out ?designs? against Khartoum itself but ?other Muslim and Arab countries.?? He slammed Jewish Hollywood as a prime mover and shaker against Sudan and accurately noted that the ?Save Darfur? campaign was the product of several powerful American Jewish organizations. He also pegged the seemingly nonstop propaganda against Sudan as ?mainly Zionist propaganda (2).? These admissions are echoed and fully documented by an abyssal Mask of Zion investigative report on Jewish Hollywood?s symbiotic relationship with the usurping Zionist entity and how it routinely targets the enemies of ?Israel? through its films, television shows and actors (3).

What lies at the heart of the criminal Zionist regime?s subversion of Sudan, beyond the obvious prize of oil and the immediate objective of balkanization, is blue-gold; water, lots and lots of water, and not just any body of water either, but the ancient Nile River itself. This plot, developed in 1974 and known as the ?Yeor Plan?, would see Nile water diverted from Egypt?s northern Sinai region through tunnels underneath the Suez Canal and ultimately, through the illegally besieged Gaza Strip into al-Naqab, referred to by occupying ?Israeli? Jews as the ?Negev?. The Zionist regime initially suggested that 1% of the Nile?s precious water would be sufficient for its needs. The problem with this seemingly tiny amount however, was that the 1% desired by usurping Jewish entity belonged to Sudan. Despite the Zionists? ambitions and the notorious Egyptian collaborationist Anwar el-Sadat?s treacherous willingness to oblige them, Egypt could not transfer any of its water resources unilaterally; it needed approval from its Nile partners: Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and Zaire (4). The only nation here that was operating from a staunch anti-Zionist stance of course, was Sudan, and disapproval from just one of the nine nations, invalidated any such dispersal objectives. Sudan had to be ruined and put under control for the Jewish supremacist enclave?s ?H2O hegemony? could be established.

The Yeor Plan was concocted because ?Israel? is suffering, and has always suffered from a water crisis and thus far, it has proved to be completely incapable of solving it, generating more and more political instability with each passing moment (5). This is due to the Zionist occupiers being nothing more than the equivalents of parasites. They consume, consume and consume, caring not in the slightest about the land they are literally bleeding dry (6). Every one of the rivers that flourished with pristineness before the advent of Zionism is now polluted, some to devastatingly deadly levels, except the Upper Jordan. The Lower Jordan on the other hand is used by the usurping, occupying Jews as nothing more than a dumping ground. 88% of the wells in the occupation capital of Tel Aviv are polluted, and this is just the tip of the iceberg (7).

The Zionist land thieves can?t turn to the water in the occupied West Bank because of their policies of ?water occupation? and ?water apartheid?, in which they systematically destroy Palestinian water wells while hoarding hundreds of millions of cubic meters of water, insanely forcing Palestinians to buy their own water back at criminally inflated prices and taking over major aquifers throughout the territory, effectively denying the aboriginal Palestinian people of one of their most basic human rights. These cruel Zionist efforts are being aided by Britain (8), the Talmudist Rothschild family?s ?homebase? and great colonial pillager of Africa. And in illegally besieged Gaza, the situation is even more daunting. An astonishing 95% of the water in the Strip is undrinkable thanks to Jewish contamination, specifically the ungodly bombing campaign carried out by the ?Israeli? terrorist army during Operation Cast Lead. Additionally, due to this, hundreds of Palestinian babies in the world?s largest open air prison are suffering from ?blue baby syndrome,? a horrific disease of immune system deficiency and disfigurement (9). The hateful usurping entity doesn?t mind the children of non-Jews suffering because of poisoned water but it would never subject its own ?tribe? to such horrors. Hence why it needs Africa?s blue-gold.

Without the collusion of the aforementioned Anwar el-Sadat, arguably the Arab World?s filthiest collaborationist, the Yeor Plan wouldn?t even be a remote possibility. In fact, to take it a step further, if the great Arab nationalist leader Gamal Abdul Nasser was alive, not even the dream of such a plot would have made its way into reality. And this is why Nasser, the usurping Jewish entity?s arch-nemesis, ?had to go?. A longtime target of Mossad and CIA operations, President Nasser died untimely at the age of 52 on September 28th, 1970. Eyewitness testimony confirms that none other than Anwar el-Sadat himself is responsible for poisoning the legendary Nasser on behalf of his ?Israeli? and American masters. Nasser didn?t ?die of natural causes? as it is commonly repeated in mainstream historical discourse, he was assassinated (10). El-Sadat, a self-hating Arab, immediately hijacked the Egyptian presidency in the wake of Nasser?s death, and began implementing initiatives to spread sectarian hatred throughout society, cheapen Islam for imperial objectives and de-Arabize Egyptian culture (11), all to the great pleasure of ?Israel? and the Zionist-occupied governments of the West. Nasser of course, was vehemently anti-sectarian and did everything in his power to preserve Muslim and Egyptian unity (12).

While Egypt was being subverted on a cultural, societal and political level by their proxy el-Sadat, the Zionists deepened their presence in the North African giant that had already been in effect for decades prior. Operation Susannah was the first, in which Egyptian-Jewish Aman operatives posed as Arabs and attempted to detonate explosives inside Egyptian, American and British targets; the goal was to foment a Western proxy war against Nasser so ?Israel? could retake the Suez Canal. The event is known today as the Lavon Affair. Most infamous of all is easily the Mossad-CIA conspiracy known as ?Operation Cyanide?, in which Egypt was to be blamed for an attack on an American Navy ship, thus triggering World War Three. The operation spun out of control and is now known as the USS Liberty Massacre. Since 1978, at least 15 ?Israeli? spy networks have been dismantled within Egypt. Former Shin Bet head and Zionist war criminal Avi Dichter declared openly to a crowd at the ?Israeli? National Security Research Center on May 26, 2010 that weakening Egypt was vital to the very foundation of the Zionist entity?s foreign policy (13).

On New Year?s Day 2011, Mossad detonated a car bomb right outside of al-Qiddissin Coptic Church in Alexandria, murdering at least 25 innocent people, just one week after yet another ?Israeli? spy network was uncovered. The usurping Jewish regime?s international intelligence directorate was spying on Egyptian government officials, attempting to penetrate Islamic opposition groups and infiltrating Egyptian telecommunications firms to strengthen other Zionist espionage networks in Lebanon and Syria. The objective of the bombing was to provoke Muslim-Christian tension. Thankfully, this failed miserably (14). Only a few weeks after the murderous attack came the ?Egyptian Revolution?, which the Zionist entity had its hands in with its proxy, the April 6 Youth Movement, a group of westernized House Arabs bankrolled by Jewish capitalist strongmen, Peter Ackerman and George Soros. The aims of the April 6 Youth Movement were to subvert the real revolutionary fervor of the Egyptian people and secure the installation of a regime like that of el-Sadat?s equally treasonous successor, Hosni Mubarak (15). Currently, as per the 1982 plan of Oded Yinon, ?A Strategy For Israel In The 1980s?, the usurping entity has used the chaos of the ?Egyptian Revolution? to launch a full-scale intelligence assault on Egypt to reoccupy the Sinai (16), a clear scheme to compliment and facilitate the Yeor Plan.? Directly tied to the Jewish-Zionist designs for Sudan and Egypt is the once-glorious North African nation of Libya. Another target of Oded Yinon?s nefarious policy paper (17), Libya has been ravaged by NATO and its proxy militias in another stratagem designed by the forces of international Zionism: UN Watch, a Zionist-headed affiliate of the American Jewish Committee, AIPAC?s foreign policy wing, and the Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI), a Jewish-Zionist nest of the same neoconservative war criminals responsible for masterminding the annihilation of Iraq. The demolition of Libya began on the Jewish revenge holiday of Purim, like Iraq before it, and as of this moment, at least 100,000 innocent lives have been claimed, including women, children and Libyan leader Muammar al-Qadhdhafi himself (18). Apart from thieving Libya?s oil and gold, a central objective of the Zionist war on Libya was to disassemble al-Qadhdhafi?s Great Manmade River and have several Zionist firms rebuild it, establishing a neoliberal stranglehold over Libya?s entire water supply (19).

At the peak of the Zionist-engineered aggression, NATO warplanes not only indiscriminately bombed the Great Manmade River, Earth?s largest irrigation project, leveling it and terribly contaminating it beyond measure, but the only factory that made replacement pipes for it. The Zionist-controlled mainstream media buried this crime against humanity, this act of unadulterated malevolence, with deceptive coverage of the ungodly massacre of Norwegian teenagers on Ut?ya Island, reporting it as the work of a lone gunman instead of the real perpetrator: the usurping Jewish entity?s Mossad (20). The Great Manmade River was providing water and irrigation to at least 70% of the Libyan people, in addition to serving as an asset for Libya to challenge ?Israeli?-Egyptian hegemony over the vegetable-export market in Europe. A key element of the Great Manmade River?s functioning is the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System, largest fossil water aquifer system in the world, which lies beneath Libya, Egypt, Sudan and Chad (21). It should be noted that Chad has been used as a staging ground by the usurping Zionist entity and its American marionettes to destabilize Libya since the 1980s (22).

By sabotaging and subsequently laying waste to Egypt, Sudan and Libya in three balkanizing ?water wars?, the Jewish occupation regime will then be able to assert its dominance over the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System and the Great Manmade River, in addition to the obvious perk of knocking off three of its sworn and most hated enemies in its quest for ?Greater Israel.? The three prospective agents of ushering in this new age of Imperium Judaica?s hegemony over North Africa?s water resources are Veolia (formerly Vivendi), Suez Ondeo (formerly Generale des Eaux) and Saur, Zionist-French multinational behemoths that control over 40% of the global water market (23). Veolia in particular is an ultra-Zionist firm, with deep ties to the usurping Jewish entity and its closest ally, the House of Saud. The Zionist-French mega-corporation is complicit in monstrous human rights abuses across occupied Palestine, from the West Bank to al-Quds, as it provides direct services to the ?Israeli? institutions that uphold the tyranny, from the IOF to the illegal Jewish settlements (24). Veolia will no doubt be the chief executor of Zionism?s Yeor Plan.

A man by the name of Jean-Luc Touly, who was employed as an accountant at Veolia/Vivendi for 30 years, blew the whistle on the origins of these multinational water giants. They were created more than 150 years ago. And they were created by bankers (25). At that point in history (and really, at this point in history too), the word ?banker? was dead-on synonymous with the phrases ?Rothschild family? and ?Rothschild lieutenant?, and France, a mighty colonial power, was (and still is) under the jackboot of this predatory plutocratic Jewish dynasty, lock, stock and barrel (1). To this very moment, Veolia/Vivendi is being advised by the Rothschilds (26). It is fitting that a creation of the International Jewish Money Power, stays with the International Jewish Money Power. And it is equally fitting that Africa, raped and pillaged repeatedly and incessantly by Rothschild-financed colonialism for centuries, is being prepped for this creation, this three-headed Zionist ?water monster?, to hurt it and torment it even more.

The United States government, in just one of the many glaring signs that all of its mechanisms of governance have been through a process of ?Israelification?, has just declassified a document which states that water-based conflicts will threaten its ?national security interests? in the near and distant future. One of the water bodies mentioned is none other than the Nile River (27). American ?national security interests? under threat? No, the Zionist entity?s. And as per the 1975 MOU between the United States and ?Israel? that stipulates America must fulfill the energy needs of the Jewish occupation regime whenever it is necessary to do so (28), it is definite that this study was conducted at the behest of Zionist interests. And, with ?Israel? growing closer to the fabricated regime in South Sudan with each passing day, a dastardly military-intelligence relationship that dates back to at least 1967 (29), it is also clear that the water wars against Sudan, Libya and Egypt are, unfortunately, ongoing Zionist projects.

Poll: 1-in-4 uncommitted now in White House race

WASHINGTON (AP) ? They shrug at President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney. They're in no hurry to decide which one to support in the White House race. And they'll have a big say in determining who wins the White House.

One-quarter of U.S. voters are persuadable, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll, and both Obama and Romney will spend the next four months trying to convince these fickle, hard-to-reach individuals that only he has what it takes to fix an ailing nation.

It's a delicate task. These voters also hate pandering.

"I don't believe in nothing they say," says Carol Barber of Iceland, Ky., among the 27 percent of the electorate that hasn't determined whom to back or that doesn't have a strong preference about a candidate.

Like many uncommitted voters, the 66-year-old Barber isn't really paying attention to politics these days. She's largely focused on her husband, who just had a liver transplant, and the fact that she had to refinance her home to pay much of his health bill. "I just can't concentrate on it now," she says before adding, "If there were somebody running who knows what it's like to struggle, that would be different."

John Robinson, a 49-year-old general contractor from Santa Cruz, Calif., is paying a bit more attention, but is just as turned off by both candidates.

"I'm just bitter about everybody. They just keep talking and wavering," said Robinson, a conservative who backed the GOP nominee in 2008, Arizona Sen. John McCain, but is undecided between Obama and Romney. "There's nothing I can really say that's appealing about either one of them."

To be sure, many of the 1-in-4 voters who today say they are uncommitted will settle on a candidate by Election Day, Nov. 6.

Until then, Obama and Romney will spend huge amounts of time and money trying to win their votes, especially in the most competitive states that tend to swing between Republicans and Democrats each presidential election. Obama and Romney face the same hurdle, winning over wavering voters without alienating core supporters they need to canvass neighborhoods and staff telephone banks this fall to help make sure their backers actually vote.

"It presents an interesting challenge to the campaigns," said Steve McMahon, a founding partner in Purple Strategies, a bipartisan crisis management firm. "Moving to the middle means winning these voters, but it also means creating problems with your base."

Obama has sought to straddle both the left and the middle by announcing policies that expand access to contraception and allow immigrants brought illegally to the United States as children to be exempted from deportation and granted work permits if they applied.

Both issues are popular with his core supporters and centrist voters. The president also is promoting a list of what he says are bipartisan measures that would help homeowners, veterans, teachers and police officers, and he accuses Republicans of causing gridlock by refusing to act on them. It's a pitch intended for independent-minded voters frustrated by inaction in Washington.

Romney has broadened his tea party-infused message from the GOP primary and softened his tone as he looks to attract voters from across the political spectrum.

He abandoned the harsh immigration rhetoric on Thursday when he pledged to address illegal immigration "in a civil but resolute manner" while outlining plans to overhaul the green card system for immigrants with families and end immigration caps for their spouses and minor children. In doing so, he risked inflaming conservatives who make up the base of the Republican Party.

Overall, the poll found that among registered voters, 47 percent say they will vote for the president and 44 percent for Romney, a difference that is not statistically significant.

Those totals include soft support, though, meaning people who lean toward a candidate as well as those who said they could change their minds before November. The poll showed that these persuadable voters are equally apt to lean toward Obama, Romney, or neither, with about one-third of them in each camp.

The survey also showed that these voters are more likely than others to say they distrust both Romney and Obama on the major issues. They are far more likely to think the outcome of the election won't make a big difference on the economy, unemployment, the federal budget deficit or health care.

Party politics and wedge issues have dubious weight with this group. The poll found more independents fall into this category than partisans. The partisans who are persuadable are more likely to be in the ideological middle than either liberal Democrats or conservative Republicans. Seventeen percent of persuadables say they consider themselves supporters of the tea party.

The poll also found that demographically, they are more likely to be members of Generation X (between the ages of 30 and 49) than other registered voters. Many, 71 percent, have not graduated college. They are a bit more likely to have lower incomes than all registered voters. Fifty-two percent of persuadables have incomes below $50,000, compared with 44 percent of all voters.

On other characteristics ? gender, religious preference and race ? they're split similarly to other registered voters.

The Associated Press-GfK Poll was conducted June 14-18, 2012 by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. It involved landline and cellphone interviews with 1,007 adults nationwide, including 878 registered voters and 228 persuadable voters. Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.0 percentage points. For registered voters it is 4.2 points and for persuadable voters it's plus or minus 8.3 points.

LastPass 2.0

Sometimes the best things in life really are free. LastPass 2.0, the latest edition of PCMag's Editors' Choice for password manager, won't cost you a penny, and it outperforms the competition, both free and paid.

The developers at LastPass don't scrimp when it comes to updates. According to the product's revision history there have been over a dozen revisions, large and small, since I reviewed LastPass 1.72 (free, 5 stars). I'll highlight the major enhancements in this review.

Thorough Installation
You'll go through quite a few steps installing LastPass, but by the time you're through you'll have a fully functional ready-to-run installation. The installer adds plug-ins for the browsers it detects and offers to create a LastPass account if you don't already have one. It checks your browsers for insecurely stored passwords and offers to import them, remove them from the browser, and turn off the browser's password management. The fact that it can do all this is pretty clear evidence that browser-stored passwords aren't safe.

New in this edition, during installation you can import the password and other details for your Wi-Fi connection into a secure note. After installation, you can choose to import the login details for every Wi-Fi connection stored on your PC. Once you complete the installation process, the installer offers to show a video explaining just what you can do with LastPass.

Secure Storage
With LastPass, all of your passwords and other data are stored online in a highly encrypted format. The system is designed so that the people at LastPass have no access to your password. Even if subpoenaed to release your encrypted data, they simply couldn't. And the encryption system they use is highly resistant to brute force attacks. I'm confident enough that I use it myself.

If you just can't stomach the thought of keeping your passwords in the cloud, you'll have to choose a different product. RoboForm Desktop 7 ($29.95 direct, 4 stars) stores your encrypted passwords on the local computer. Dashlane 1.1 (free, 4.5 stars) offers a choice between local and cloud storage. If you enable the Sync option it stores the encrypted data online with the ability to sync between different devices. But if you leave Sync disabled, all data gets stored locally.

Still worried? You might consider a self-contained option like MyLOK Personal ($89.95 direct, 4 stars) or the password manager component of IronKey Personal S200 ($79 direct, 4 stars). You won't get the full range of password management features, but you can feel secure with all your passwords in your pocket.
