Hey all.

Today's picture is from 2000. I checked out the webpage of the dinner theatre I used to work for, and found that they had posted some picures of shows I was in. This one is from Jesus Christ Superstar. Which is my favorite of all the shows I did. I played Annas, I'm the one in the foreground here, singing with a scowl.

Today I went to school, and then I went to SOS staffing to see if I could find a job. They don't hire part time. So I got a hair cut. She cut more off than I wanted!



Just kidding. I took that picture after I shaved my head several years ago. I thought it looked good, but my friends all thought I looked scary.

I've considered doing it again...not sure tho.

I'll probably update my real picture tomorrow.

Tomorrow I start Atkins. (it, among one other thing, which I won't mention just yet) is the reason I am so svelte in the bald pic, I had lost 60 lbs. So off I go again. I bought a lot of meat, cheese and veggies at Winco today.

Gadget of the Day

Check this out. RFID. Radio Frequency IDentification. If you aren't familiar with it. It's a device which transmits a radio signal to it's immediate vacinity. The signal contains information about whatever the thing is in. It is currently being implanted in pets. It's like the little tag on the collar, but is able to carry much more information, like the address info of the owner, so that the animal can be returned to the owner.

In the future, some hope to implant these in humans (see below). The thought is that it could contain health information, be your house or car key, carry your credit card info, and other stuff. Imagine all you have to do is approach your door and it'll open, approach your car and it unlocks, leave your car and it locks when you get out of range. No more searching for credit cards, you just chat with the clerk as he rings up your groceries, and without a thought it's added to your debit card.

The bad side? Well, there could be well hidden RFID readers everywhere...they'll be cheap and mass produced. So the government or big corporations or whatever could register your presence when you walk by a building, when you get into an elevator, when you board an airplaine, or when you enter the local porn shop. Kind of a nasty little invasion of privacy scenario. Some even say that when humans are implanted with this, it will be the biblical "mark of the beast".

Is convenience worth it?
