same here.
Well, looks like we're finally learning.
Cold storage, private keys in encrypted file container in my dropbox and every device I own.
Admittedly i have a huge chunk in blockchain.info and then i also have an Electrum wallet with another chunk and then an insignificant amount on a computer using the regular bitcoin qt app, and $200-300 on stamp.
Ive been considering moving my blockchain.info chunk to my electrum wallet. Watching gox vanish should be a smack to the back of my head to move my shit off blockchain.info, but im not worried! Ill move it sooner than later tho.

Allow me to ask: how is blockchain.info more convenient than electrum? I use the latter, and to me it seems it offers an absolute maximum in convenience, with very little compromise to security, while blockchain.info seems to offer no additional benefits, but lots of additions insecurity. But maybe I miss something about blockchain.info.
EDIT: since it's a web wallet I guess you can use it for making purchases when you're on the go. sthg that is harder with electrum.
cold wallet on a usb up my ass

Beware ... your computer could still fail.
I do keep the private keys on a piece of paper, just in case. 
Keeping the coins in an offline computer is considered a cold storage? 
when its offline i would call it cold storage, even if there are more secure places like already mentioned.
In meine toches!
It has the perfect balance of humidity, fragrance and UV protection... although I guess the term 'cold storage' isn't entirely accurate anymore.
Been wondering about something related to this actually. How secure are wallets? Is a keylogger enough for someone to access my coins or do they need physical access to my machine too?

On paper and USB (redundancy) in a vault is my definition of cold storage. Preferably two vaults in two sites if you have a lot of BTC.
Beware ... your computer could still fail.
Small amount on BlockChain.info wallet, the rest stored in an Armory paper wallet and a backup also on an encrypted virtual machine on a pendrive... both stored in a fire safe.

yes i also use this .

80% is on cold storage
20% in exchange

After mtgox stoped withdrawals a discussion started how secure btcs stored at exchanges are. Finally they revealed that they were lost.
Some exchanges said they would start doing audits and all btc are secure.
I am curious where you store most of your btcs and if you changed your mind about online wallets.
i expect that more people will move their btcs from exchanges into cold storage. would that lead to lower trading volumes and higher volatility?
