31:20 - 7zip For Storing Passwords?
Anthony writes, "I have a good few passwords to remember and it's becoming a bit of a task . So is it safe to keep my passwords in a txt file and encrypt them with 7zip as a basic and easy single file to go to now and again to retrieve passwords I forget?" 7zip rocks AES encryption and keeps your files local... beyond that, Shannon's got concerns, and some options you might consider for password management. Watch the video to find out what they are... and here's a free 1 month trial for LastPass

Do Something Analog!
Bruno writes, "I like technology, but I like analog too. I like to listen to music. I listen to different genres of music. So what better way to listen to music… in vinyl I say! My analog pick is Ozzy Osbourne’s Blizzard of Ozz 180g vinyl album. It has a beautiful album cover art on the record itself. TekThing Rocks," Thanks Bruno!!!
