Interview with RFID implantee
04/01/2005 03:43 AMDavid Pescovitz:
Last week, Mark
linked to Flickr photos of a guy who had an RFID chip implanted in
his hand. The always-fun Body Modification Ezine made contact with the
gent, Amaal Graafstra, and posted a lengthy interview. Here's an
excerpt:
BME: Now, who actually performed the implant
procedure?
AG: As I have not asked the doctor for permission to
publish their name, I can’t give that out, but they happen to be
a cosmetic surgeon, so it seemed the natural choice. However, it was
not hard to find someone to do the procedure; I have many MDs for
clients and the day I got my chips, I asked two and both said
they’d do it...
BME: Ideally, what sort of accessibility do you hope
to see this implant give you in the future?
AG: Well, because I’m writing my own software
and soldering up my own stuff, pretty much anything I want. Well, more
accurately, anything I have the time and inspiration to do. Ultimately
though, I think true keyless access will require an implantable chip
with a very strong encryption system; right now I’m only looking
at this type of thing in a personal context.
As for society at large, nightclubs in Spain are
already using RFID chips to let customers put drinks on their tabs
and enter VIP lounge areas, and I think Australian pubs are doing the
same as well. I’m not sure if they use encrypted implants or
not. I was more interested in just getting something simple, cheap,
and fun to play with.

Assistant Professor at the University of Kansas. Dr. Deavours issued
the following statement on behalf of the RFID Alliance Lab. On
December 14, the Lab tested all 105 labels with a ThingMagic Mercury 4

The SleepTracker watch has been a total success from what I
can divine. We actually called to get one in for review because so
many people were asking about it and the company said they didn't have
a single review unit to spare (I probably should have turned off
Unskinny Bop while calling). Gear Live has an interview with Lee
Loree, the inventor of the watch that helps you wake up at the optimal
time.
The next night I allowed our dog back into our room.
3 times she woke me to where I sat up in bed and was visibly disturbed
(I video tape the nights I run tests).
Kinky, but that's
science for you.

Roland
Piquepaille sat down with the CEO and CTO of Novinit, the French firm
behind the Jackito "Tactile Digital Assistant" (the one you use with
just your thumbs). Although the company appears to have realized many
of the errors they initially made in the product announcement, there's
still enough tomfoolery to dispell any confidence that I might have
that the Jackito's designers are in touch with the rest of the PDA
world (or that they even want to be).
What I still don't get is why I should have to pay upwards for $700
for a crappy PDA when its major claim to fame is something that could
just as easily be done in software on an established platform, like
Palm or Windows Mobile. It's not like you can't turn a Palm on its
side and use your thumbs on it.

11/18/2003 02:03 PMHere's an interview at suicidegirls.com with Jaime Hernandez,
co-creator of the 25-year-old(!!) comic book
Love and Rockets.
DRE: In doing my research I found hundreds and maybe thousands of
articles written about the comic, you and your brother. Do you ever
wonder why it doesn't translate into sales?
JH: Well when you're thinking about money it can get frustrating.
Ok so yeah people have written about us for years, why isn't anyone
following? That's one thing I have never been able to figure out, how
to make them buy it. That's for someone else to figure out.
DRE: What's Gary Groth [co-owner of Fantagraphics books] say about
that?
JH: They're just banging their heads against the wall. They tell us
we were in Time magazine but no one's coming from it. It is nice that
people appreciate it though. It's enough for me to continue. I've seen
so many people stop doing their comics because they couldn't make a
living.

Trotskist sf author Mieville interviewed
04/01/2005 12:24 PMCory Doctorow:
Sf editor Lou Anders (whose
Live Without a Net was one of the best sf anthologies of 2003
-- a collection of futuristic stories set in world without the
Internet) has interviewed the Trotskyist sf/f author China
Mi´ville (his
King Rat is an enchanting love poem to London). It's a great,
wide-ranging interview, concerned with politics, literature and
rousing nerd pride -- fascinating.
The whole good-versus-bad morality thing, you have to be very careful
or else you end up sounding incredibly trite. People have criticized
me for being too morally simplistic and for depicting the government
as wholly evil and my goodies as wholly good. I donât think itâs
fair to say that my goodies are wholly good. As for the government
being wholly evil, I can see that thereâs maybe a sort of pantomime
element to some of the government in, say, Perdido Street Station. I
donât think itâs the case with The Scar or Iron Council.
Particularly with the figure of Weather Wrightby, but also with the
figure of the Lovers in The Scar, thereâs an attempt to say this is
not about this person being a bastard, this is about this person being
a representation of social forces that for the purposes of this book
represent the enemy of the protagonist. What I donât necessarily do
is spend a long time getting into their psychology, and thatâs
partly because the book is from the protagonistsâ opposing point of
view. It is a book about the depiction of revolutionary fervor, and
therefore the book relates to Weather Wrightby and the Mayor as
enemies because so do the protagonists. It doesnât mean that they
are snarling, Dickensian pantomime villains. But itâs also the case,
as you say, that they donât necessarily get punished any more than
the good get rewarded. Nor necessarily do they get rewarded. The
abstract schema of morality fits very imperfectly over what I think of
as a kind of concrete morality of political and social circumstances.

Thanks, Lou!)

Joseph Wilson interviewed at Salon. They've also tried to
portray you, and all the other whistle-blowers who have spoken out
against the administration, as partisan democrats. Do you think that
has been an effective technique?
It hasn't worked with me. People are touched by this story because it
gives a human face to a whole host of lies and deceptions that only
now are becoming apparent to the American public. Americans don't like
this attitude. Americans don't like to see their women taken out and
beaten up.

09/25/2004 01:47 PMStephen O'Hears and his "In Search of the Valley" crew stopped by
to interview me the otehr day.
Here's his
report/post....
We drove down to Walnut Creek to spend some time at
Marc
Canter’s house. Marc is probably best known as one of the
co-founders of
Macromedia
(then called MacroMind), and is considered one of the fathers of
‘multimedia’. According to Marc, software is the new rock
‘n’ roll, and open source / open content is a form of
activism that is taking back control of the internet and it’s
content. He spoke passionately about the
Creative Commons licencing
scheme, and the promotion of ‘open’ standards and content.
What was now required was a way to join up and manage the digital
lifestyle. The solution:
Digital Lifestyle Aggregators.
After the interview Marc played some blues guitar for us and performed
some opera.

Yesterday, I
posted a link to the Body Modification Ezine
intervie
w with Amaal Graafstra, the guy who had an RFID chip surgically
implanted in his hand. This morning, BMEzine received an email from
Matt Trossen, proprietor of Phidgets USA. Here's an excerpt:
I just ran across your RFID article with Amal. I couldn't
believe what
I was reading, especially since I sold him the RFID chip and reader! I
remember him asking about the biobond stuff and now I know why. I had
no idea someone was going to be crazy techie enough to put one in
their own hand. Wild.
Anyhow, I was surprised to see a whole article about someone using an
RFID reader and chip from us with no mention or link.
I have no idea what policies the site has about such things, but I'm a
small business doing everything I can to grow and I think this article
will generate some publicity and would love to let people know where
the RFID reader + chip came from.
Praise to Pidget for seizing the weird PR opportunity!
