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 […]

Are you eating better and being more careful during this recession?

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

This article in Science points to a surprising trend… life expectancies trend upward during a recession, and trend downward during periods of excess abundance. Of course, its just a data discovery at this point… nobody has yet put any research into the causes. I know for sure that, at this point in our current recession, […]

DNA based biometric screening makes its “horrifying” début

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Technologies designed to quickly test a persons race for the purpose of allowing political asylum have been developed and are currently being used by the UK Border Agency. Science has obtained Border Agency documents showing that isotope analyses of hair and nail samples will also be conducted “to help identify a person’s true country of […]

Brand My BMW project gets sponsor

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

A friend of mine has decided to destroy his BMW 7 series by letting people pay him to put stickers all over it. I snagged sticker slots 2, 5, and 6 to put my bumper sticker sized self promotions on his car. I deliberated for a bit, but ultimately decided to place all 3 square […]

I’m in “Tagged”, a new Canadian documentary

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

Documentaries seem take a long time to go from filming to release. I’ve helped film a couple of them, and I was up in Toronto a year or two ago (can’t remember exactly, it was that long ago) to be filmed assisting with a live implantation and typical door lock project. The trip was only […]

Seattle suburb uses 24 hour surveillance cameras to monitor cars and people

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

City signs have a unique way of greeting people. In Issaquah, for instance, motorists are told they’re entering “a special place where people care.” For years, Bothell invited people to stay “for a day or a lifetime.” In Medina, a new sign bears this warning: “You Are Entering a 24 Hour Video Surveillance Area.” Cameras […]

District 9 makes me want to welcome an alien apocalypse

District 9 makes me want to welcome an alien apocalypse

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

Yes you idiot, there are spoilers. It’s a very good movie that, in the end, only fans the flames of my evil genius side… you know, that “poison the well”, “launch all nuclear weapons”, “end all humanity” kind of evil genius. Even though they barely touched on it, I like how the aliens are basically […]
