Let’s guess each other’s Social Security Numbers, for fun True story: I didn’t even know my Social Security Number until my freshman year of college, when it was used as my dorm building’s PIN. Type in the PIN, and the little gate would open. It seemed a little odd at the time, yes, and today’s news that, with a little elbow grease, someone can guess a person’s Social Security Number quite easily, well, that doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence vis-à-vis “the system.” It’s like this. A team of researchers, out of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, have figured out a way to guess a person’s Social Security Number knowing only basic info: a date of birth, a home town, etc. In short, with a little bit of know-how, someone, if he were so inclined, could guess your social security number, provided he knew your date of birth and the location where you acquired your SSN. What does this mean for you in your everyday life? Be sure to tune in next week for a silly contest: guess Peter Ha’s SSN, and win a USB thumb drive! Flickr

The Extraordinaries | do micro-work for something you're passionate about at www.beextra.org 8 Ideas, Techniques & Tricks for your Web Design Toolkit As important as information and interface design are, it's the satisfied feeling of designing something that just plain looks awesome that keeps us going during those times when the creative well is dry, when you've stared at a blank canvas for hours, when you've saved a hundred attempt.psd's, and when you're fed up of design. It's because you know that when you have that finished, polished, veritable work of art up on your screen, and you've switched Photoshop into full screen mode and you're looking at it from different angles around the room, and you're basking in the glory of your perfectly positioned pixels, you just know that this is the greatest profession in the world! 1 - Don't be Satisfied with 1 Iteration When designing a website for a client you often have to provide a couple of different design concepts. When you feel like you've gotten it right the first time, it's pretty annoying to have to dredge up another version which you're pretty sure won't make it out of Photoshop.
