Trent at The Simple Dollar does this thing where he looks back and says "what was I doing at this time last year". I thought I might check it out for my blog and see what happens.

How readable is your Word document?
Nissan vs. Nissan
I discussed how motivated hackers can get in to most any system, and how your goal should be to not be the weakest link. I also discussed "readability statistics" in Word (which I recently demonstrated in my CIS 125 classes). I also discussed the case of Uzi Nissan, who owns Nissan.com and is constantly sued by Nissan, the car maker.

Secure, Random Passwords
What not to do in PowerPoint
People want passwords that are easy to remember. Sometimes, for security's sake, it is worth it to memorize a difficult password. PC Tools has a link that will create a difficult to hack, random password. And when I say "memorize", I don't mean "write it on a sticky note and put it on your monitor". I also had found a PowerPoint video that I still use today: "Life After Death by PowerPoint". This is a comedy routine that a comedian does to show common presentation mistakes.

The blog had not been created yet, but it was close. I started the blog on May 6, 2006 after attending a conference at NJCU.
