Omitting data to make a completely inaccurate point

Friday, October 9th, 2009

In this article “More women than men dismissed from military for being gay” about the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, the author (Adam Levine) is basically saying the military is being unfair to women. The article never states this outright, but even the title is written in such a way that is trying to […]

Four questions about employer sponsored RFID implants for employees

Four questions about employer sponsored RFID implants for employees

Friday, October 9th, 2009

A guy named Wesley just posted four questions he had about employer sponsored RFID implantation on my RFID Toys book forum. They were good questions, so I decided to post his questions and my response here on my blog. I have four questions which will help validate my claim that RFID is useful in expediting […]

Trolling for parts I found an interesting listing

Trolling for parts I found an interesting listing

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Everyone is trying to build a better mouse trap… but I think these guys have the best one I’ve seen yet. These precision mousetraps are the result of millions of years of product development. The models we offer here are made in the USA and we cannot economically export them. Each unit comes fully equipped […]

Local politicians with unfortunate names

Local politicians with unfortunate names

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

On my way to work today I finally noticed some of the names on the political signs that have been posted all over town. I had to laugh as I came to two consecutive stop signs which stood watch over two different political signs of two unfortunately named men running for a superior court judge […]

Using enhanced biometrics to detect intent?

Using enhanced biometrics to detect intent?

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

The Department of Homeland Security is funding a project called Future Attribute Screening Technology, or FAST. The idea is that sensors and cameras located at security checkpoints would measure the natural physiological signals coming from your body — your heart rate, breathing, eye movement, body temperature and fidgeting. Researchers believe the culmination of which would […]

IBM working on a cheap, fast DNA reader chip

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

The concept of reading a person like a barcode is not a new one, it has come up constantly for me every time I deal with people calling me “Satan’s Mouthpiece” (yes, I got emails calling me that). But the difference between my RFID implants and a generic DNA reader that can cheaply, quickly, and […]

I just came across this marked up scan of an old PC magazine interview

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

I was searching for some specs on the new EM4102 replacement chipset and came across an image of my hand and some text from a PC Magazine article published Sept 6th, 2006 on a rant & rave site dedicated to bringing down “big RFID”. The caption on the site said “Mark of the Beast”, but […]

I just set up my new Google Voice account, give me a call!

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

I’ve been waiting for this for a while now! I just received my invite to Google Voice! I must say, I’ve used a few of these types of services like CallWave, YouPhone, etc… for a free service, this looks pretty sweet. The one thing I am concerned about is the fact that Google will undoubtedly […]

Brand My BMW gets their own video online

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

A couple days ago I supported my friend with his Brand My BMW project by slapping 3 bumper stickers on the hood of his gorgeous BMW 7 series. They had their own camera crew there, as did Kiro 7 news. As you will see, it was a rainy day, but a few silly Seattle raindrops […]

A couple days ago I supported my friend with his Brand My BMW project by slapping 3 bumper stickers on the hood of his gorgeous BMW 7 series. While he had his own video guy there, Kiro 7 news was also there to film it, and as luck would have it, my stickers are featured […]
