@Linden: Yeah, I really wish I would have known what to look for while I was there. I think it might have been interesting to collect examples…not that my suitcase could have held them!

@lorraine: Thanks! That is an interesting article. One thing, though. Some toothpaste does come in boxes, although most of it doesn’t. Now that I’ve read that article, lots more of the interesting packaging I’ve seen here makes sense.

Shoot! I’ll have to do it the old-fashioned way and have you copy and paste the following:

It’s also one of my shared items on g-reader.

@daniel: Ha ha. Nope, just curious about how secure other people are. :)

Glad to hear it’s easy to make clothing donations in Tulsa!

@lorraine: I know! When I first typed in one of my MSU passwords–you know, since they changed the password requirements, they’re trickier–and it was much weaker than I thought it would be!

I agree. It is time America gets serious about recycling. It can be easy, but the American gov just isn’t dedicated enough to make it easy for Americans. (The link didn’t work! I even tried a Google “site:” search. :( )

Hmm…I never knew that my passwords were so weak! Thanks for the link to that…I may have to revamp them. I have a horrible memory though, so I tend to not change them as often as I should.

In regards to the Germans and their recyclable ways, Design Observer had a good article on their Gruene Punkt sustainability/recycling system. I wish we had something similar in the states.

so you’re trying to get people to tell you about their passwords? I would be suspicious of anyone else. For important sites like my bank and credit card sites, I use ultra secure but easy to remember (for me). Everything else I use easy ones. You’d be able to log in to almost all my other accounts using the password you set for my gmail account when you set it up.

The salvation army has tons of bins setup in the Tulsa metro area for dropping stuff off too. No running to goodwill here either! :)
