Keyless motorcycle ignition diagram

Keyless motorcycle ignition diagram

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

A while back I posted a video of me starting my ’05 Hayabusa using my RFID implant. I had always intended to post a diagram but never got around to it. Finally I was prodded into action by a forum member looking for advice setting up his own GSXR. My actual wiring is a bit […]

Vehicular winter wonder land

Vehicular winter wonder land

Friday, December 18th, 2009

A few days ago, as I sat in my frozen car waiting for it to heat up, I started staring at the frosty flakes on my window. It’s nothing that unusual or out of the ordinary… I just thought I should take a picture of this before it melted.

Nothing like holiday parking lots to bring out the a-holes

Nothing like holiday parking lots to bring out the a-holes

Monday, December 14th, 2009

This post is going to be all about handicapped parking spaces and their abuse by myself and others. Yay! So yeah, ok, I sometimes park in handicapped spaces… much to Jenny’s chagrin. However, I only do that when I know I’m going to be 30 seconds (dumping mail off at the post office drop box) […]

Automobile keys with embedded RFID chips

I was at the local VW dealer this morning buying a spark coil for my trusty 2004 GTI when I noticed a bunch of half-naked keys scattered around behind the parts counter. I thought it would make for an interesting picture so I reached across the counter, gathered them up, and laid them across the […]

Seattle suburb uses 24 hour surveillance cameras to monitor cars and people

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

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 […]

The best license photo I've ever seen

The best license photo I’ve ever seen

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

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 […]

A real time MPG gauge would change driving habits

A real time MPG gauge would change driving habits

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

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 […]

Open letter to idiot drivers

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Many people in physically smaller, more dense countries enjoy efficient, effective public transportation. For the typical American not living in New York, driving significant distances is a daily necessity. It is well known that when people get behind the wheel of a car, they change. Seemingly mild mannered, rational people become taut tripwires, ready to […]
