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 […]

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 […]

New Dell Latitude Z has some sweet wireless features

New Dell Latitude Z has some sweet wireless features

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

There are plenty of reviews of the fancy new Dell Latitude Z out there, so I won’t bother going into those details. The one detail I think is really cool is a wireless inductive charging option that lets you just set the laptop down on a little pad and it will charge wirelessly. Of course, […]

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 […]

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

I’m re-posting it here to help protect the information in case BMEZine ever bites it. Please check the BMEZine site for the most […]

A multifaceted approach to identity checking

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

If you want to see the forefront of public surveillance and identification technologies, look no further than London. For the last 10 years, the UK has been the leader at deploying these new technologies in order to monitor and account for its citizenry. However this latest program is hoped to be a trial run and […]

An examination of California bill banning forced RFID implantation

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

This is very old news, but people keep asking me about it (CA SB362), so here goes: quote source: http://www.govtech.com/gt/articles/139441?utm_source=newsletter California Senate Bill 362, which would prohibit any person from forcing any other person to undergo an implant in their body of a radio frequency identification (RFID) device, passed the Senate Floor on a 28-9 […]

Brown sugar is people! You're eating people!

Brown sugar is people! You’re eating people!

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Ok, so the title is a (bad) play on Soylent Green. So what? Today I learned something interesting. If you need to do any RFID testing or research on liquid interference typical of meat or people, brown sugar is a great analogue. An unopened bag has interference properties very similar to that of humans, or […]
