Summer Vacation...

I've been busy preparing for my summer of fun so pardon my lack of innovation!

Next week I'm heading on a 400 mile week long bike trip through Vermont, Quebec, New Hampshire and New York with a few friends. Check out the blog for our trip.

I'm also busy training for the New York Triathlon on July 22nd in New York City. The bike trip is sort of a last push to get into shape before the race.

RF ID Experimentation Kit Update: false advertising/my own ignorance

As stated in my previous post about my idea for RF ID Sports Analytics I was very excited to get my hands dirty with the RF ID Experimentation Kit I ordered from ThinkGeek.com. One small thing the product description fails to mention is that the kit DOES NOT include all of the necessary hardware to set up an RF ID solution! ARGGG!!! The kit doesn't come with an RF ID reader but the RF ID how-to guide suggests purchasing one for ~$500. I'm too angry and frustrated to read through the fine print on ThinkGeek.com to check if there is a disclaimer mentioning that the experimentation kit isn't comprehensive in and of itself to set up an RF ID solution.
