Congratulations, definitely a step above for the generation of passwords that are easy to remember, but hard to guess.

One thing to keep in mind. While it is hard for a person to guess, the same concept can be used to narrow the initial selection set of passwords needed to guess. Implemented in a program (a simple modification of your code) it would have a much better success ratio of guessing the passwords. In the end though they are definitely tougher to guess than standard dictionary words, so it is definitely an improvement.

I used to pick passwords of random characters that felt natural to type. Some combinations of characters are just awkward to enter quickly. Knowing that a password cracker to begin its search based on netural key combinations. This would likely shorten the search time.
