Among the things I learned this week:

* ING instituted a super smart policy that requires aggregation services (e.g., American Express’ Money Manager or Mint.com) to use a read-only access code rather than your PIN (i.e., personal identification number). (Courtesy: ING)

* Pittsburgh continues to be a great city, always evolving, but always rocking. Next time you’re in town, check out 33. (Courtesy: Pittsburgh)

* Cacti are amazing in person! (Courtesy: Mother Nature)
