A PasswordCard is a credit card-sized card you keep in your wallet, which lets you pick very secure passwords for all your websites, without having to remember them. You just keep them with you, and even if your wallet does get stolen, the thief will still not know your actual passwords.
Your PasswordCard has a unique grid of random letters and digits on it. The rows have different colors, and the columns different symbols. All you do is remember a combination of a symbol and a color, and then read the letters and digits from there. It couldn't be simpler!

Carbon Copies, by Nadine Jarvis. 240 pencils made from the carbon of human cremains, as memory for those left behind. The most clever touch are the pencils getting sharpened back into the box causing the sharpenings to occupy the space of the used pencils. Hope it gets real sometime.VISIT LINK: Beautiful: When I die, I want to become pencils

The real story of the completely unethical way that they are going about achieving that success. In short, for users who won’t pay cash, a wide variety of “offers” are available where they can get in-game currency in exchange for lead gen-type offers. Most of these offers are bad for consumers because it confusingly gets them to pay far more for in-game currency than if they just paid cash. And it’s also bad for legitimate advertisers.<br />

"What would a real-world place like New York City look like as an 8-bit video game map? I started wondering, so I created 8-Bit NYC, mixing the lo-fi overhead world maps of 1980s role-playing and adventure games with the kind of geographical data that drives today's web maps and GPS navigation. It's interactive (like Google Maps), letting you zoom from a view of the whole city, down to an individual street — any address, anywhere in the city." More cities to come…

"The Torn-Up Credit Card Application – I get a heck of a lot of credit card applications in the mail. I almost always tear credit card applications in half and throw them away. Is that good enough? Could a determined and dexterous criminal gather all the bits, tape them together and apply for a credit card in my name?"
