I actually found some good tips in the technology section. Here are my three favorite ones:

Abbreviate favorite saying to create password
A good password is one that's tough to guess but easy to remember. Don't use a dictionary word or your birthday. Think of your favorite song or scripture, say, "We all live in a yellow submarine." Take the first letters of each word "Waliays" and swap out letters for numbers and symbols where possible: "W@1i@ys". Now you've got a very strong password that's easy to remember. Just don't write it on a post-it note and stick it to your monitor!

Cleaning electronics in the home
Since water + electronics = disaster, use clean dryer sheets to wipe dust and dirt off your electronics (DVD player, computer monitor, etc). Safe and works great!

Save portable electronics screens with protectors
If you have a PDA or cell phone with a small LCD, protect the screen with the clear self-adhesive screen protectors. Even if you can't buy one that's the right size, buy one that's larger than you need and cut it down. Make sure it's a good fit by cutting out a piece of paper as a template.
