A while back I linked to the WikiHow on How to Create a Duct Tape Wallet. Now, for those individuals nervous about RFID cards, here are instructions on How To Create an RFID Blocking Duct Tape Wallet. The author claims that 27 micron thick aluminum will block RFID signals.

So how about an aluminum foil wallet to go with your hat?

Oh the Ho's! Thanks Bruce. I was wondering what my next piece would be about. I'll get right on it!

Sorry that link should be: http://cambridgebuzz.blogspot.com/

The other link is to only one article and not the whole blog.

Gender Guesser

The Gender Guesser is a utility that takes writing samples (over 300 words works best) and attempts to guess the gender of the author.

I have been feeding it some posts from here, but except for TW, not many people consitently write posts that long.

Have fun.

Hmm... a blatantly feminine email to my grandmother (covering topics such as cooking, house cleaning, my relationship with my parents, and repeatedly including the words "pregnant," "breastfeeding," and "baby") was classified as weak male. I think it needs work.

Well, it does say it's only %60-70 accurate, which is slightly better than flipping a coin. I think that it looks for passive versus active patterns and the use of more common words rather than subject.

'I bought the brown shoes' would be scored differently than 'The brown shoes were bought by me'. I'm assuming that the bigger the sample, the more accurate it gets.

A buddy I used to work with (way before personal computers) and I had the idea that we could make action figures that look like individuals. Just mail us a pic and you will get a fully poseable action figure that looks like you!

Sigh.. a great idea before its time!

Why do I have visions of fuel-injected rototillers and explosives being used for planting row crops?

My ophthalmologist thinks I've stablized and don't need to go to the retinologist at the moment, but when I was going several years ago I was generally the only person in the waiting room under 70. (Or at least it seemed that way.)
