The oddest body mod I've seen... ever

The oddest body mod I’ve seen… ever

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Ok, I’ve got what some consider to be a body mod. I’ve got two RFID implants. In fact, my very first interview about my first implant was with BMEZine. But for me, this “mod” is purely functional. They don’t actually show (unless I want them to). Now these bagelheads over in Japan though, they take […]

Stamp based security system

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

I’m working on a project that involves green computing, and oddly enough an old building. This project has a low budget at the moment, but still requires a flexible security system for an inner and outer door. I figured I could easily put a BS2 chip to the task and come out with a pretty […]

Design change requires new hack for bonus chapter

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

I wanted to post this video to show just how the body’s own tissue interferes with an RFID implant’s ability to be read, even with a high power reader. These tags have very low read range due to their size, and the location I chose between the thumb and index finger of the hand offers […]

My Maker spot in MakeZine TV Episode 9

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

A while back the good folks over at MakeZine TV asked me to put together some video clips of me talking and using my implant. I’ve done tons of interviews where people ask me the usual questions, but sitting there pretending to answer phantom questions while directly addressing the camera… it’s hard! I guess I’ll […]
