I was at the local VW dealer this morning buying a spark coil for my trusty 2004 GTI when I noticed a bunch of half-naked keys scattered around behind the parts counter. I thought it would make for an interesting picture so I reached across the counter, gathered them up, and laid them across the […]

These guys over at Berg London did a really smart thing. They used an ID-20 reader module to kick out a signal to an LED when a tag is read, then put that LED in the center of the tag being read. Then they used some standard photography tricks to capture and superimpose all the […]

A guy named Wesley just posted four questions he had about employer sponsored RFID implantation on my RFID Toys book forum.

If you want to see the forefront of public surveillance and identification technologies, look no further than London. For the last 10 years, the UK has been the leader at deploying these new technologies in order to monitor and account for its citizenry. However this latest program is hoped to be a trial run and […]

Ok, so the title is a (bad) play on Soylent Green. So what? Today I learned something interesting. If you need to do any RFID testing or research on liquid interference typical of meat or people, brown sugar is a great analogue.
