Ever since I was I kid, I have been a fan of heist movies. To this day, I will argue that The Usual Suspects has the best plot twist of any movie of all time. But there are only so many The Usual Suspect caliber movies out there, so to fill the void I had to slum it a bit with lower quality heist movies, enter Swordfish, The Italian Job, and the like.

Dropbox
A long time ago I downloaded an app for my iPod touch (my phone was an LG Voyager at the time) to help me take attendance for the class I was long term subbing for.

I had never heard of Dropbox before so I signed up for an account and that was that.

For me, almost all of this discovery happens on YouTube, so when I find a channel chock full of awesome videos, I subscribe. If something is good enough for me to subscribe, I will share it with you here.

The idea of passwords may be flawed as pointed out in this educational and scary piece by Matt Hohn. Kill the Password: A String of Characters Won’t Protect You
In this article, Matt talks about how his entire life was hijacked by malcontents. All of his devices were wiped, every account hacked, and he lost every single photo of his daughter. Reading this was scary enough for me to take my password game seriously for the first time.
The rest of this post is the result of my research.

When my son was born, I knew it was only a matter of time before I had to dive into the world of children’s entertainment.
This scared me because I didn’t even like kid’s shows when I was a kid, much less as a sleep deprived and stressed out parent.
