Passwords. They're so hot right now. Passwords.

As our web- and browser-based digital tools have us spending more and more time on the internet, I have noticed my near-logarithmic rise of password generation. Each new web-based application or service is causing a growing database of log-in information that must be accessed daily as one traverses across the net.
 
Usernames are no big deal. They're usually just an email address or a single name that works fine for multiple sites and is fairly easy to remember. Passwords, on the other hand, should change and NOT be the same for every site. I know we are told that, but in practice, I am fairly certain most of us just use two or three different ones. If that.
 
I have been using KeePass now for about a year or more. I can easily recommend it for storing your online identity and have loved how it functions on my desktop, even auto-completing site logins for me if I choose. I have hundreds of sites now stored in its database and realize that it has become a "must-have" in my online strategy for maintaining security and ease of access to the many many sites I now visit daily.
 
Which now brings me to my need for mobility. As I leave the desktop and move more and more of my online connections to my iPhone, I am running into the problem of not having access to my password database as I surf the web on my phone. This is problematic for a multitude of reasons. The Apple App Store has been pretty weak in terms of offering any decent password utilities for the iPhone and I have longed for the KeePass app to be ported to the iPhone. Now, it seems, there is movement in that direction:
 
http://ikeepass.de has submitted their Version 1.0 of iKeePass to the iTunes Admin Area. How long it will be in this purgatory is unknown at this time but, if/when it is approved, you can bet I will be the first to download it and put it to use.
 
Passwords are becoming an increasingly valuable commodity in our online world. One that needs to be protected at any cost.

Need art?

Yes. We do.

An Idea: Creating new retail design.

As IL get ready to begin designing a new retail store in Southern California, we are trying to think about merchandising t shirts in a whole new way. It is hugely critical that we create a feeling of innovation and shopper experience that goes way beyond the typical t shirt stores consumers have come to expect.
 
Look for an entirely new display system that will feature nearly 16 different cut styles while maintaining an adequate stock of all standard sizes. Also, a new graphic, in-store signage system to educate and direct customers to the styles and sizes
they are looking for.
