Rather then create stronger passwords, you are probably better off going to passphrases. They are longer and generally easier to type since you are just typing a sentence even though I generally perform at least one character subsitution. Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pass_phrase ) and Microsoft ( http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/secmgmt/sm1004.mspx ) both have good articles on pass phrases.

How I make my passwords: I use the alphanumerics on a phone. So I take my name Jed (533) and add to it something I love… let’s say MtDew (68339). Add those two together and I get 68872. Then I add the first letter of my name to the begging and an exclamation to the end and I end up with a password of “J68872!” Easy to refigure out if I forget it.

Dunno if it was said (maybe JT is the one posting on whitesoap?) but this was posted on whitesoap ( http://whitesoap.com/story/424900/How+To+Create+Strong+Passwords+You+ll+Remember/ ) first, and its from lifehack.org ( http://www.lifehack.org/ )
