Late last year, our whole network here at work crashed. In the process of recovering it, everyone was issued passwords of random strings of characters. I found that the one they gave me was surprisingly easy to bang out on the keyboard, so I've kept it. Just change the numbers on the end.

That's really my main criterion for a password: how quickly can I reliably type it out? A good password can save you milliseconds in your day. Milliseconds, I say!

I still use the random-string password I got for Lotus Notes ~10 years ago. I favor passwords that I can type entirely with my left hand, for speed of banging it out.

Shows! Shows to watch! On my teevee!!

I use some work passwords to remind me I need to leave there. My current one is: Timetogo

Back when I had a Palm Pilot there was a very primitive program for taking notes by writing with your stylus -- totally useless program, really. BUT, I would save my passwords there, written out in cursive. I figured what are the chances of hackers digging into your pictures to figure out your passwords?

I have a password I invented in college that is The BEST! Especially since it's based on muscle memory and has all the pertinent points of numbers, symbols, and capital letters. I've had to modify it, but still super easy for me to remember, almost two decades on.

Everything I showed up early for today made me late.

Someone tell me that I do not have the resources, patience, or free time to learn how to do DIY reupholstering of furniture. Because I end up seeing things like this, and then I want to have all of our furniture reupholstered. Which is expensive.

So sorry, Lee.

Jilli, I'm pretty sure you could do some reupholstering, but that looks like a Huge Undertaking.

Man, I really hope I'm back in my apartment tomorrow night as promised. I need some alone time on my own couch!
