JetBlue Auctions Off Flights for Pennies

Hard to believe it but JetBlue -- the low-cost airline I maligned in a previous post for showing signs of decline in its once-great customer service -- is now literally auctioning off flights for pennies. According to Lifehacker, "JetBlue is auctioning off more than 300 round-trip flights at their eBay store and, as of this posting, some still have opening bids of five or 10 cents." Find out more details at at Lifehacker or go directly to JetBlue's eBay store and put your bid on a cheap flight before it's gone.

Never Forget a Password Again with KeePass

Do passwords drive you crazy? They do for me and up until recently I didn't have a reliable or safe system for keeping track of all my usernames and secret entry codes. (For the longest time, I've been writing them down in a small, spiral bound notebook that is gradually disintegrating.) That's all changed now that I've discovered KeePass, an easy-to-use, encrypted database that stores all my secret codes. The best part -- it's absolutely free! Read all about KeePass in this recent Biz Fast Tracker column.
