Yayy! Internet is back up! 3Web, expect a miffed call from me. *glower* (<-- is that a word?)

I have a text file of things I want to write up about, and since the internet was down when I was writing it, I wasn't able to finish it properly by verifying links and such. As it stands, it's finally up, just as I'm about to head to work. -_- I'll drop a few links now, I'll drop a few later when I have more time, and write up even more once I get the links sorted out.

Look at this kid's christmas list - I like his inclusion of "a trunk of snow". :p

Chris, you would probably be interested to hear about this: there's rumours that they are putting RFIDs in Canadian Currency (and it was discovered in American contractors who had visited Canada).

Speaking of RFIDs, MINI, the car company, has started a pilot program where, if you own a Mini, you can drive around town with an RFID keyfob which will change the billboard to display a personal message.

At work a few days ago, someone had thought one of the words in a movie wasn't real, and I wasn't certain, either, but it reminded me of the longest word - pneumono­ultra­micro­scopic­silico­volcano­coniosis. Check the link for other more well-known "longest" words.

I finally finished Phoenix Wright 2, case 4 - man, that case never ended! ...well, until it did. ;P

Yes. Yes, it is.

I've heard about the bugged coins thing... It sounds like somebody was concocting coins with transmitters specially for spying on these US defence contractor spooks, not like Canadian coins are being minted with RFIDs.
Of course, nobody seems to be able to come up with any explanation of what you'd actually achieve by planting an RFID this way: First off, you can only track it from about ten feet away; and second the odds are really high that they're just going to turn around and spend the damn thing.
It's all rather mysterious and confusing, really.

Now that you mention it, yeah, that does seem odd, considering RFID's extremely short range. I never thought about that. I wonder how they would even consider tracking them...

Ah, there's an update (http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2007/01/16/coin-spy-retract.html) on the story, now... apparently the claim was unfounded. How bizarre...

Man! That case was loooong! But wow, it definitely went every which way possible...
