"This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of the RFID Guardian, the first-ever unified platform for RFID security and privacy administration. The RFID Guardian resembles an ‘RFID firewall,’ that monitors and controls access to RFID tags by combining a standard-issue RFID reader with unique RFID tag emulation capabilities."

"In essence, my new business/visit card would need to meet a set of basic requirements: Use a thin, one-side printed circuit board (PCB). Silver plating on black or blue mask. Show contact information – email, phone, URL, and so on. Include the simple LED driver circuit from the DEFCON badge, thus mixing hardware and software into the card. Be about as thin as a normal card. Include a personal motto. Be updatable from the web (uh?)."

"The circuit works great for dropping coins, marbles, fruits and the like into a glass of water, but the microphone pre-amplifier is just not sensitive enough to detect a single drop of water falling from a height, unless you hold the microphone really close. Am still working on a more sensitive version that should be able to do that."

"The Ben version of NanoNote is an ultra small form factor computing device. The device sports a 336 MHz processor, 2GB of flash memory, microSD slot, head phone jack, USB device and 850mAh Li-ion battery. It boots GNU/Linux out of the box and also boots over USB. It’s targeted squarely at developers who see the promise of open hardware and want to roll their own end user experience."

"I thought up the idea that it would be really cool to control a remote control car controlled by the parallel port. I did some research and Mike Beauchamp did just that and to top it off it’s controllable over the internet."

"That’s what the Morse Keyboard is all about. This little project I built plugs into a computer’s USB port and is seen by the computer as a standaard USB keyboard. As you tap out Morse, the device types each letter to your computer just like a standaard keyboard!"

"’Capacities Life In The Emergent City’ captures the changes over time in the environment (city) and represents the changing life and complexity of space as an emergent artwork. Capacities goes beyond simple single user interaction to monitor and survey in real time the whole city and entirely represent the complexities of the real time city as a shifting morphing and complex system."

"When I first saw Crispin Jones Tengu, I was sure, I must have one. If you don’t know tengu and don’t want to follow the link, it’s a small face, made of LEDs, that reacts to music and sound.
It did not take long until I decided to clone this funny little device. All it needs is a microcontroller, an LED matrix and a sound sensor."

"The original idea was to create a new human interface for a commercial fighting game using two given technologies: Orients and Prospeckz. Orients are a set of sensors which output over the radio their coordinates in a 3 dimensional space plus other physical measurements such as acceleration. The sensors are attached to different parts of a human body, the output data is processed in real time, and models a human body and its movements."

"The concept of serial communication adds a whole other dimension to what you can do with the Arduino microcontroller. Communication with other applications is essential for the type of projects I would like to develop…My excitement in learning the technical aspects of serial communication encouraged me to experiment with with two dynamic programming environments that I enjoy working with: Flash and Processing."
