- MT Open Source 4.1 is now available. I still have no idea whether to stick with the free MT or the free MTOS. Need to ponder this some time I have some spare cycles.

- Online tools to help you prepare for death, including obit/tribute sites, “last e-mail message” sites, wills, perpetual site licenses, etc.
