jordenf v2.0

So a friend of mine sent me a link to his blog: sirextra.com.  Him and a couple of guys blog about men’s fashion in the city of Vancouver.  It’s a cool site so I do recommend you check it out and I’ll add them to my associates on my page.  The one thing I noticed is that they write under aliases and not their real names… kind of like the way I do here.  The only difference is my alias is just my first name with last initial tacked onto the end of it and for a little creative flair (*enter sarcasm here)… oh and it’s all lower case (that’s what 2 years and $20k worth of creative media school gets you, your first name all lower case).

Anyways these guys are pretty creative guys, thus they are pretty creative with their aliases, one goes by SirManpurse and the other by SensibleSlacks… kind of makes my creativity look on par with that of a high-school drop-out in an Adult Learning Centre.  But here is my dilemma, in an age of computer login IDs, passwords and pin numbers I can barely get money out of an ATM or retrieve my voicemails let alone remember what my ‘other’ name is.

I have probably about 30 different sites I have to log into: this one, 5 different email accounts, online banking, Amazon.com, iTunes, Expedia, Hulu, XXXCelebri… well you get the picture.  I even have a “Safe” on my phone that holds all of my login names so I don’t forget everything… and what is it protected by?  Another long password.

And don’t even get me started on sites that make you include numbers and letters in your password, who’s the nerdy dick that decided to do that? “Oh I know what we will do, lets make it so you have to use as many strokes on the keyboard as possible… yes, oh yes this will be great!  25 characters and you must use letters, numbers, and the # key at least twice”.  If I ever meet that guy I will slap him with my password protected, keygaurded, security encrypted BlackBerry!

Anyways, I love the accessibility of being able to do everything online, but by the time I’m 65 I’ll have remembered hundreds of passwords and login names… but I wont be able to remember what I had for breakfast because my memory will have been used up with numbers and letters and that damn # key.

So in short… actually in length, this is why I’m jordenf… I have a hard enough time remembering to put my name in lowercase let alone remember an alias… and to be quite honest, I’m just not that creative.
