The unix utility apg has some nice functions for generating passwords. Particularly I like it's "pronounceable" algorithm which tries to generate passwords that are slightly pronounceable. It's a good way to get those 6-14 character passwords with numbers, upper case, and punctuation that are easier to remember but still random.
WeampE6quaph (Weamp-E-SIX-quaph)
2hoov2Klypfo (TWO-hoov-TWO-Klyp-fo)
GicutOj8 (Gic-ut-Oj-EIGHT)
HegEmWydwev5 (Heg-Em-Wyd-wev-FIVE)
Tegdijetyik4 (Teg-dij-et-yik-FOUR)
Fon7ochry (Fon-SEVEN-och-ry)
I usually take the password and type it about 100 times to see how it feels, subtly changing any characters that feel awkward to type. This gives me a password that is very fast and natural to type (less likely to have errors), but still has a lot of randomness and obeys all the stupid password rules.
