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 […]
I just found this Elective Home Surgery FAQ published by BMEZine. While I don’t suggest anyone do any kind of home surgery, this info might be useful for those that choose to. 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 […]
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 […]
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 wanted to enable jumbo frames throughout the logical storage path to see how it would affect virtual disk speeds. Unfortunately, it is not possible to […]
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 […]
I’ve been toying around with OpenFiler a while now and I’ve run into some quirky behavior when it comes to order or operations via the web interface. I had some issues with not being able to unmap an iSCSI LUN to being unable to remove a volume group. I was able to futz around and […]
When I was a wee lad, I saw the film License To Drive with the “the two coreys” (them then, and now)… and the best license photo I had ever seen at that time was features in the movie. Corey Haim’s character flashed a sideways smile just before the picture was snapped and I always […]
