A while back I heard of this open source 2.4GHz active RFID platform called OpenBeacon. At the time I thought it was simply an open source active RFID system, which really only appealed to me because the end products might be cheap enough for broke hobbyists to play with. When time finally permitted me to […]
As if to prove my point, today I was walking through my kitchen and Jennifer had left one of her magazines on the kitchen island. It caught my eye only because I thought, for a second, I was passing by a picture of Nicole Kidman showing her vajayjay. The left arm placement brings the eye […]
There’s nothing I love more than wandering around doing daily tasks when something suddenly strikes me as so strange or odd that I have to stop and look… and hopefully get a laugh out of it too. For instance, I was walking around Target one day and I had just finished up a conversation about […]
In cleaning out my junk, I found several hard drives that I pulled from servers and various workstations. I wanted to ensure I was not selling or tossing drives with data on them, so I connected them up to my XP workstation to kill partitions and reformat the drives. I ran into a few GPT […]
I never understood spring cleaning. Well, I mean, I know it came about because back in the 12th century when people didn’t have fiberglass insulation, they made their homes/huts/whatever about as air tight as possible to keep the heat in during the winter months. Of course, this lead to a build up of dust and […]
Remember kids: This post is probably going to get my blog censored in a certain very large Asian nation, but I thought it was quite interesting to see all the political commentary buzzing around the internet in editorial style cartoon format.

I’ve not been serious about my photography hobby for quite some time, but since I bought my first digital camera back in 1992 (Sony DSC-1 640×480 or 0.3 megapixel max resolution), I’ve taken over 25,000 photos, 5000 or so that have been taken “recently” which still need to be named and sorted. I started sorting […]
How ironic and appropriate that the name for this Microsoft powered wrist watch included the word Fossil… it was almost like they knew how obsolete the first version would become in such short order. I picked up this watch for free because someone was tossing it out. It worked well enough, but since I don’t […]
On the RFID Toys forum, I’m always fielding questions about RFID basics and helping educate people about RFID applications. I also get a lot of questions about where to find cheap gear. I was hoping to be able to answer some of those questions by pointing people to www.ananiahelectronics.com. Will I be able to confidently […]
Toward the end of 2007 I was working furiously on developing several aspects of the txtGroups company I launched back in 2005. I was pretty much a one man show, so developing new messaging platform features, marketing the service, managing accounts with content partners, etc. were all part of the collection of hats I wore.
