At least I'm not a F**king Tagger

To think blogging seemed like a bad idea. I read a little blurb on the New Yorker last night making light on a new trend among, get this, post-modern kids today -- aka late 20 somethings that I guess Jason would call emo/indie with out the tattoos. The new trend being: having an RFID inserted in your body. Body modification a la 21st century. The purpose of this micro chip you ask? Amazingly, ubiquitous in everyday life, such as being the password to your computer, or the key to your house, or (as some trend setters in Spain may have it) as a pass into the VIP room of a club. Just wave your hand in the designated area and "You're In". Some VIPs those people must be.

Here comes another train wreck and nobody is saying anything.
Thanks to Walmart and all these jackasses that think they're being so avant-garde, RFIDs will be so common place you won't even hear a peep of objection. What happened to all those people who made such a big stink about United Colors of Benetton having RFIDs in their clothing to the point of scraping the whole project (or did they?)?
Forget the serial number or the barcode, RFIDs are so much cooler.

I know it's old news...

But I posted some of the pictures from Alia's B-day weekend. The cake is a Humming Bird Cake made with pineapple, banana, coconut, pecans, and a cream cheese/butter icing. I figured Alia was getting too skinny.
We went to NYC and didn't get lost thanks to the NFT guide. Unfortunately, my camera's battery died midway so there aren't that many pictures.
