Ultimately, you need to come up with your own algorithm using your own ordered list. It needs to be something you'll remember easily, and something you can figure out in your head very quickly.

Now let's add a second layer of complexity that includes the name of the system you're logging into. Let's say you need passwords for Yahoo mail, Gmail and Bank of Hawaii. Let's also say your...

I think the easiest way to explain my system is to start with a very simple version, then gradually explain the additional layers of complexity.

First, you need an ordered list. An ordered list...

I work in the computer industry and need to memorize dozens or hundreds of passwords. Managing my passwords securely was always a challenge, so several years ago, I sat down and made a concerted...

When I started replaying the opening riffs in my head to songs like Smoke on the Water, Stairway to Heaven, Sweet Home Alabama and Day Tripper, they are SUCH a part of what music is to me that I...

Must be a Windward-side thing. I live in Kaneohe and red ginger grows like weeds here too. I finally got fed up trying to keep them maintained and got rid of all the plants at my house.

This topic came up in a casual workplace discussion. Two remarkably austere coworkers vacuum every day. Many said at least once a week. Most, including me, fell into the "about once a month"...

Tutusue, I'm sorry you've lost a radio station you loved, but I'm with scrivener and Pomai -- I LOVE the new format.

I've been listening to KROCK all morning. I think everything I heard so far is...

This New Years was pretty quiet in Kaneohe, although I suspect much of that had to do with the rain.


I've always been told that fireworks are supposed to scare off evil spirits and bring good...

Speaking of that, in Japan (where you don't have to look too hard to find something REALLY weird), there are ear-cleaning salons where you can pay a young woman to clean your ears for you.

The Japanese use a little spoon-shaped piece of bamboo designed specifically for the task called a mimikaki. I don't know how many Japanese Americans use mimikakis, but most of my extended family...

So do I.

I know this is a bit conspiracy-theorist, but I get the feeling many movies these days are designed to elicit this response in order to boost DVD sales.

According to Nissan's sales literature, the Leaf has regenerative braking. I don't know how it compares to similar systems in hybrids, but I would imagine they are all very similar.

I don't have an EV, but the way I understand it, their regenerative braking systems would recharge their batteries as they roll downhill. So even if they use a lot of electricity to get up the hill,...

It turns out to be a busy week for us, so we didn't get to see any HIFF movies except for one: Cloud Atlas, the new Tom Hanks/Halle Berry movie. It's going to be released this Friday nationwide, but...

The 2012 Hawaii International Film Festival started yesterday. Anyone here a member? Going to see any movies? Which ones? The wife and I are trying to decide which ones to catch this year. Any...

I'm relieved and overjoyed that Curiosity made it safely to Mars. Given the failure rate of Mars missions and the almost comic Rube Goldberg complexity of this one, I wasn't optimistic. I know...

I used to have a 500cc motorcycle in the early 90s, and the few times I bothered to calculate my mileage, I was getting about 50mpg. After that, I had a slightly modifed and far more powerful 750...

I saw it and enjoyed it. Like pzarquon said, not the best nor the worst. But even the worst Pixar movie is still a pretty good movie.

One of my favorite things about Pixar is the little short...

Ellison already owned a house on that island. I don't know if it had a porch or a deck, but now he can stand on it and look at his lanai.

You should definitely have the title to your car if you own it outright. You wouldn't be able to sell it otherwise. I've gone though the process several times in my 30 years of car ownership, and...

I recently saw a movie called Triangle.

(There are a few movies with the same name, but here is the IMDB entry...

I agree. The show is one of the best I've seen on network TV. I can't believe it didn't do well.

Did you just install or upgrade some software? Did you just start doing something new (and demanding) with your PC that you never used to do before? When buying computer hardware, delaying a...

Do we get to watch Honolulu being destroyed in this movie?

Hmm.... that sounded worse than I meant it. It's not like I would want to see anything bad actually happen here -- but after watching...
