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 […]

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 […]

Back when I got an RFID implant put into my left hand, the first guy to interview me was Shannon Larratt from BMEZine. We loosely kept in touch for a while after that, and he mentioned to me the relatively new concept of obtaining a sixth sense through the implantation of magnets in the fingertips. […]

I have two cars; a VW GTI 1.8T turbo powered mad machine which can get 35 MPG if I drive like grandma, and my Honda Insight which can get 100MPG if I draft behind a semi truck from driveway to parking space and back again. I caught this shaky image on my way to work […]

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 […]

A few months ago I had a little rant about validation, and how developers had to be more thoughtful and less presumptuous. Lately I’ve had another data validation issue crop up that is even more annoying. My credit card expired recently and as usual the bank sent a new card out. I thought it was […]

I was going through the pictures on my phone’s storage card and came across this picture of a simply horrible ad. My hunch, which I’ve talked about before (here, and here), is that they purposely picked this ridiculous picture to capture my attention (which it did). The problem with this ad is, if I wasn’t […]
