LinkedIn passwords compromised

Mashable is an awesome site, that's where I heard about it too. Apparently Facebook is scrambling to upgrade their security to prevent it from happening to them as well.
If you use the same password anywhere else it's a good idea to change it everywhere. I'm sure they'll try them in other popular networks, Paypal, etc. -

I know between work and home, remembering passwords drives me crazy.
Yeah, I'm going to miss BlogPaws this year. Sad to miss it, but it's not in the budget and June is hard to get time off of work since everyone with kids in school at work takes time off in June and July. But I'm already saving for next year! You'll just have to be sure to write a good wrap-up post about the conference.
