Well, I had to wake up at 5am this morning to do a radio interview. My fancy windows mobile phone had a battery malfunction and so I had to get this crappy backup phone… apparently I don’t know how to set the alarm on this new phone, because it failed to go off. Luckily there […]

I wrote a quick article (pdf / scan) detailing my life with RFID implants for IEEE Spectrum magazine a while back and today I got my own personal print copy. I remember the photographer setting up a shoot in a church of all places to take the source photos for this article. He was a […]

I’ve loved Think Geek ever since it launched… they always have crazy kits and odd items up for sale that geeks like myself love. Matt Trossen of Trossen Robotics has begun selling RFID Toys kits online at Think Geek, which I think is a great move. Same price, but Think Geek’s presentation pic is really […]

Thanks to a post by an RFID Toys forum member, I found out today I made #5 on the RFID Gazette’s Top 25 Influencers in the RFID Industry list (pdf). I thought it was kind of interesting, and I have to say… thinking back to March 2005 when I put those first grainy cell phone […]

Well hello world! Yesterday I took some time off from coding the next txtGroups messaging platform to construct this blog server. Every once in a while, even though I’m busy beyond belief, I get the urge to just core dump to a blog entry of some sort… but I never wanted to setup a blog […]

I got a mention in the RFID Gazette DIY project post (pdf) today and thought about Kevin Warwick’s uber-cool cyborg implants. The man was one of the first to implant an RFID transponder under his skin (not the first, but pretty close), and he stepped it up a notch by injecting an array of 100 […]

I did a 5 minute interview with CBC Radio program The Current about RFID. Thought it was going to be an interesting interview about privacy, but they totally cut out everything except for the very basic details about the implant itself. The full RFID segment, which includes Canada’s privacy commissioner and a guy selling RFID, […]

I’ve been trying to track down video dubs and clips from various news segments I’ve been on. It’s either really hard to get the media to respond to you once they’ve used you up, or it’s really expensive to purchase the clips from a news monitor. Kinda lame if you ask me, but I’ve ordered […]

I’m so stoked I got to be a part of the first ever Maker Faire down in San Mateo, CA! Too bad I could only stay for the first day. It was amazing! The event was an amazing display of people and their ingenuity, and I vowed if I ever had the opportunity to return […]

After a whole lot of BS, I was able to get an x-ray of my hands taken. What I can’t believe is just how insane the medical industry has become that I can’t walk into a radiology office and pay them cash to take an x-ray of me. The radiologist is performing a service, they […]
