Merlin's tips and tricks

Posted by Cory Doctorow, September 8, 2004 4:24 AM |
Merlin Mann, the hilarious polymath geek dude, has started a new site of usability tips-and-tricks called 43 Folders that is chock-a-block with reallye excellent tips for getting the most out of every bit of technology in your life.
Most sites requiring registration ask you to choose a "secret question" to which only you supposedly know the answer. Of course, in the age of Google, the city where you were born and your mother's maiden name may no longer be the best kept secrets in the world.

So, next time you register for a site and it asks for your response to a challenge question, choose something that's completely insane, but really memorable to you.
