    RFID term doubleplus ungood malquoted rectify "proximity"

    Wired News: RFID Cards Get Spin Treatment “We'd prefer,” said Joseph Broghamer, Homeland Security's director of authentication technologies, “that the terms 'RFID,' or even 'RF,' not be used at all (when referring to the RFID-tagged smartcards). Let's get 'RF' out of it altogether.”

    Is there a philatelist in the house?

    Does anyone want this stamp? I have no idea why I have it, but because I used to collect stamps, and more likely because I'm an unreformed pack rat, I can't bring myself to just throw it out. If you want it, email me your snail mail address and I'll mail it to you. Inside the envelope, not outside. Hey, you'll get TWO stamps! I finally got my scanner working (damn microsoft and damn XP) so it's bedtime for Jen.

    A Confession And A Meme!

    So got an iMac a while ago. He loves it, and has been trying to get me to try out my account on it, which I finally did. I can say that I don't hate it. And there are things about it that I like (such as the fact that it's Not Microsoft). I played with it some more, and I think I might like it a little. And then he decided he wanted an iPod mini, since the portable cd player he has won't consistently play burned cds. So we traipsed off to the Evil Apple store and he…

    WTF?

    What the bloody hell? That's the second time my LJ style has gone *poof*. Crap – and this time it lost my customizations. At least it didn't lose my links. Grr. It's still not right, but it'll do.

    Quick post and memeage before bed

    Trying a new schedule this week – four 10 hour days w/ 3 days off. I think it'll work well, seeing as how I'm usually there 9 hours anyway. Been watching .hack//sign – talk about a mind f*ck. I love it. And some memeage: bold the states you've been to, underline the states you've lived in and italicize the state you're in now… Alabama / Alaska / Arizona / Arkansas / California / Colorado / Connecticut / Delaware / Florida / Georgia / Hawaii / Idaho / Illinois / Indiana / Iowa / Kansas / Kentucky / Louisiana / Maine…

    Weekend!

    This is the first sunny weekend we've had here in Austin in seven weeks. By a happy coincidence it was the opening weekend of Excalibur – a ren/fantasy faire somewhat near Austin. We're skipping Scarborough on our anniversary this year due to last year's Unpleasantness, and we most likely won't get to TRF this year, so this little ren faire is our only ren fix. It was pretty good. Small, but fun. The wind in the trees above the main stage was so loud, we really had trouble hearing the acts. But, it was a fun way to spend a…

    GAH! Some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed.

    So this morning, as usual, I have eggos for breakfast. With peanut butter & jelly. Yum. I also throw a frozen meal thingy in my bag for lunch. We leave the house by 9:00 am. ::: time passes ::: We get home tonight around 7:30 pm as usual – and as I walk in the house I hear this strange humming/rattling noise. I follow my ears into the kitchen, and it’s the fridge making the racket! WTF, says I, and notice that the freezer door is partially open. Oh. Crap. Yeah, lost most everything in the freezer; there’s ice and…
