Otso, thou my well beloved,

Honey-eater of the woodlands,

Let not anger swell thy bosom;

I have not the force to slay thee,

Willingly thy life thou givest

As a sacrifice to Northland.”

 

- The Kalevala - Rune XLVI “Otso the Honey-Eater”

 

Forged by David DelaGardelle, Otso’s Bite is a mythically-influenced, yet historically-rooted, early 8th century Merovingian/Vendel-period spatha. Inspired by the character of Otso the forest-spirit, as described in the epic Finnish poem, “the Kalevala”. The key historical foundation for this sword began with its pommel design, which was directly based off of an artifact found in Vesilahti Kirmukarmu, Finland, along with other Christian and Pagan artifacts. The strange and mysterious pommel depicts a snarling bear with wizard-like faces on all four joints. The pommel was beautifully carved in wax by bladesmith, Luke Shearer, and then skillfully cast in bronze by Emiliano Carrillo and Matthew Berry. The upper and lower guards were made from buffalo horn and antiqued bronze, and the grip was shaped out of a solid piece of rock maple with Vendel-era carvings. The pattern-welded blade was forged out of 800+ layers of 1075 and 15N20 steel. Made from Baltic poplar and lined with wool fleece, the scabbard reflects several Vendel-era findings. The entire scabbard is tightly wrapped with thin cowhide leather, and tooled with period-accurate ornamentation. The hand carved bronze fittings and the scabbard bridge depicts Otso and the face of Väinämöinen. The red garnet on the bear's back represents blood from a wound, either a wound of its own or from a greater King who, like Otso, freely gives his life for others.

Firstly: please note this is not my pass phrase.

 

Simple (previously Bank Simple) has opted for a pass phrase rather than a password. XKCD fans rejoice!

 

The whole sign up form is a superb example of both interaction design and microcopy. Firstly they use password unmasking so customers can see what they're typing in and don't have to waste their time typing out their password twice. Interestingly although the placeholder text in the input field prompts for a "4 or 5 word phrase only you'll remember" the grey hint that appears under the field as you start typing also gives you the option of "a short complex set of characters". There's a little room for improvement in that text as it starts with "Remember…" but they hadn't previously said I could use a more common password-type affair. Ultimately, though, Simple is, er, simply giving their customers the ability to create whatever kind of pass authentication works best for them; they just care that it's strong enough. It certainly beats my current bank which doesn't even allow special characters in its password (don't get me started on that).

 

The use of "grading" for the strength of the customer's password is sensible as it's a concept everyone will be aware of from school. Another positive is the microcopy that displays none of the awful "error, password does not validate security strength [but we won't tell you what that is]" crap that so many other businesses infest their forms with. It's interesting (to me at least) that although a C grade is the minimum required by Simple, they class it as minimally secure. I'd be interested to see if that text encourages people to go on to make their password more secure. As Simple is still in "friends and family invites only" mode at the moment, I'm guessing they don't have the data for that yet.

 

My one regret when playing with this form was not checking to see what code there is for accessibility. I hope Simple is being cool and adding in ARIA compatibility. I wish I'd checked.

The entire scabbard is tightly wrapped with thin cowhide leather, and tooled with period-accurate ornamentation. The hand carved bronze fittings and the scabbard bridge depicts Otso and the face of Väinämöinen. The red garnet on the bear's back represents blood from a wound, either a wound of its own or from a greater King who, like Otso, freely gives his life for others.

Otso, thou my well beloved,

Honey-eater of the woodlands,

Let not anger swell thy bosom;

I have not the force to slay thee,

Willingly thy life thou givest

As a sacrifice to Northland.”

 

- The Kalevala - Rune XLVI “Otso the Honey-Eater”

 

Forged by David DelaGardelle, Otso’s Bite is a mythically-influenced, yet historically-rooted, early 8th century Merovingian/Vendel-period spatha. Inspired by the character of Otso the forest-spirit, as described in the epic Finnish poem, “the Kalevala”. The key historical foundation for this sword began with its pommel design, which was directly based off of an artifact found in Vesilahti Kirmukarmu, Finland, along with other Christian and Pagan artifacts. The strange and mysterious pommel depicts a snarling bear with wizard-like faces on all four joints. The pommel was beautifully carved in wax by bladesmith, Luke Shearer, and then skillfully cast in bronze by Emiliano Carrillo and Matthew Berry. The upper and lower guards were made from buffalo horn and antiqued bronze, and the grip was shaped out of a solid piece of rock maple with Vendel-era carvings. The pattern-welded blade was forged out of 800+ layers of 1075 and 15N20 steel. Made from Baltic poplar and lined with wool fleece, the scabbard reflects several Vendel-era findings. The entire scabbard is tightly wrapped with thin cowhide leather, and tooled with period-accurate ornamentation. The hand carved bronze fittings and the scabbard bridge depicts Otso and the face of Väinämöinen. The red garnet on the bear's back represents blood from a wound, either a wound of its own or from a greater King who, like Otso, freely gives his life for others.
