January bookmarks

Very busy recently: travel and long hours. Enjoying it. Some recent links of interest:

• Secure passwords keep you safer (Wired) – less trivial than the title suggests. It’s inspired me to kickstart the depressingly large task of updating all mine.
• So you want to be an Interaction Designer 2006? – Dan Saffer updates an important 2001 article.
• Thinking Machine – fascinating real-time visualisation of how a chess program looks ahead. Weak player, but great idea.
• Catfishing – a Wikipedia guessing game. I had a similar idea myself recently, but it turns out someone beat me to it. Maybe next time!
