PI day? Really?

Release of JumpStart v1.0.3

Friday, March 13th, 2009

JumpStart is an application I wrote years ago but never released to the public. I wrote version v1.0 when I bought my first USB flash drive, a Lexar JumpDrive. I bought it so I could easily carry files between my home computer and various school computers I’d frequent. The problem was, I wanted something that […]

RFID implant culture makes it into music “scene”

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

I picked this little sticker off the side of a fruit smoothie drink in Amsterdam. Even though it’s a marketing tag, I thought it was relevant.

My Maker spot in MakeZine TV Episode 9

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

A while back the good folks over at MakeZine TV asked me to put together some video clips of me talking and using my implant. I’ve done tons of interviews where people ask me the usual questions, but sitting there pretending to answer phantom questions while directly addressing the camera… it’s hard! I guess I’ll […]
