List member, Diana Mitchell, told me about STFs. A sweet tooth fairy is three words where the first and second form a known expression and the second and third form a known expression and all three together make a credible expression. Like sweet tooth and tooth fairy make sweet tooth fairy.

This article discusses problems with companies that tell us that we should use complex and difficult passwords. According to this interesting read, this is bad advice, because you can actually make usable, easy to remember and highly secure passwords. In fact, usable passwords are often far better than complex ones. So let’s dive into the world of passwords, and look at what makes a password secure in practical terms.

Kelowna teacher, Sharon Affeld, found this interesting activity. From the site:
“Some people are bothered by pictures on the wall hanging slightly crooked. Others may not even be aware that something may be amiss. If you are somebody who is into woodworking or construction, its good to be one of the people who notice when things are crooked. But I suspect the ability to notice that things might be just a little off square, off centre, or not quite straight, varies greatly. I thought it would be fun for people to try to test their abilities to see if things are straight or crooked in a little game.”
