I'm constantly amazed by the power a good idea has over people, the inspiration it creates, and the satisfaction of seeing it come to life... as difficult and rare as that might be.

IBM working on a cheap, fast DNA reader chip

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

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!

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

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 […]

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, […]

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

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, […]

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

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 […]

A video surveillance system that can make decisions

September 21st, 2009

The AISight™ Cognitive Video Analytics™ software takes visual input from either a live camera or recorded video, learns what activities and behaviors are normal, and generates real-time alerts that notify appropriate security personnel of potentially threatening behaviors. Unlike rules-based video-analytics software, the intelligent AISight solution identifies threats and behaviors that were not previously defined or […]
