Yesterday I got locked out of my house. It's definitely my house—my name's on the lease, all my stuff is inside, and I've got a set of keys. Only problem is, the keys were inside the house. This kind of thing (almost) never happens in my digital life. Why? Because I can remember a password. I can never remember where my keys are.
