Well ToorCamp 2012 is over, and there is plenty to show for it. I ended up going after winning a ticket by answering a GeekWire tech-tune challenge correctly, and offered to write a few “camp journal” style posts for them while I was at it. GeekWire – Arrival (pdf) – Day 1 (pdf) – Day […]

Even though TEDx events are generally attended by locals, for some reason I received an invite. It may have been because of all the media coverage a few years ago surrounding the RFID implants.

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. While he had his own video guy there, Kiro 7 news was also there to film it, and as luck would have it, my stickers are featured […]
