Today we discusses a couple different stories that came up in the last 24 hours or so.  Audiophiles will love the first article and those craving the 3G iPhone will definitely want to check out the second link.  I talked briefly about Google’s newest map adventure, a voicemail to text program, and a picture that nabs Blamer with an Apple Mac.

For the main discussion today we went through how to make a good password and a couple ways to make strong passwords for multiple accounts. I shared my personal methods and a favorite program that I use every day to store and save my passwords and contact info.

TALKBACK:

Please tell us how you use passwords or password managers.  Do you have long passwords or are you more of a short and simple kind of person?  Have you ever used the browser password manager or perhaps tried something like Roboform?  Drop a line at collegetechcentral@gmail.com or call the listener hotline at 206.203.1877.
