I'm a technologist at heart with a passion for emerging products and early stage companies.  Simple timing put me in the right place at the right time and gave me several opportunities to help shape the Internet during its formative years.  My education came via hands-on product development, a stint at NYU and side-by-side work with some of the most innovative minds in software.

    XP's Password Generator

    DateTuesday, September 26, 2006 at 6:19PM

    I read a few links online today that exposed a hidden password generator built into Windows. If you need a strong password, and are too lazy to be creative, Microsoft is here to help. Open a CMD prompt (Start --> Run --> CMD) and type: net user administrator /random.

    And bingo, you get a new password.
