Well Chris Rock’s prediction about AIDS treatment came true, and it looked as though the same would be said for Cancer. Big companies are only interested in cures they can patent. A simple cure would spell disaster for the Cancer industry (yes, it is a billion dollar industry), but that’s just what a small group […]
Back in February I did a radio interview with Netherlands radio program Earth Beat. The Feb 25th show is titled “Born Free“, and my interview is the 3rd segment. Full audio can be downloaded, and I’ve also cut out just my bit and hosted it locally. It’s pretty much the same stuff anyone ever asks […]
Random Thought Of The Day I felt a bit sick today, so I spent the day on the couch watching programs from pbs.org. I watched this one about Stonehenge and how new technologies were shedding light on things the original excavations in the 20’s and 30’s were unable to uncover. They also found more henge […]
After it’s initial release, a few bugs have been identified and resolved in the RedBee reader. The first major bug was a bit-flip issue that basically read and recorded tag ID bits in reverse order. As long as you didn’t need to inter-op with other readers, this wasn’t a big deal. However as soon as […]
Random Thought Of The Day Today’s RTOTD involves a prank I thought of while walking to work today. As I passed one of the many buildings between my home and office, I noticed the address number on one of them was 404. How funny would it be if someone hacked into Google Maps and made […]

I constantly have random thoughts that I think, with adequate time, could be expanded into a great blog post. But, today and for the foreseeable future, time is in short supply. Instead, I’m going to commit […]
Well, it’s been about a month shy of 6 years since I first implanted my left hand with a 3x13mm glass encased EM4102 RFID tag. So far so good, and even though the media hype around it quickly died down, there is a steady stream on inquiry from other adventure hobbyists on the RFID Toys […]
My latest (and probably final) interaction with Enom tech support; Dear Jack, I want you to know that I wholeheartedly empathize with the plight of tech support personnel. I used to pull support detail on phones and by email. I know users don’t typically have a grasp on jack shit, and when they do file […]
I had a moment today where I was acting like a net-head; I was using the Internet during real-time conversation to instantly learn about what I was talking about, as I was talking about it. Now, I’ve been programming computers since I was 7 years old, back when a 2400bps modem cost a fortune and […]
