bags and wallets/billfolds block radio waves

I was surfing around and stumbled across the Oakley Vertical Computer Bag 3.0:
“…If you have a Bluetooth-enabled PDA or mobile phone, the accessory pocket uses RF shielding to help prevent unwanted access by nosey jerks.”

With so many cards (identification/access/etcetera) having RFID in them, also take a look at:
a RFID Blocking Passport Billfold
a RFID Blocking Wallet

rideshare

Have you considered ridesharing? Services exist that you may not be aware of…

I was watching a television show where a member management of GoLoco was interviewed. Knowing that there is a government sponsored service in my area, I became curious about other possible services.

My first suggestion is to search the internet for: “ride share”, and your city or area. When I did, I noticed that eRideShare and craigslist have services to try to connect those needing transportation with those who need some.

I live in an area with no public transportation, and I don’t own a vehicle of any type. Speaking for those in a similar situation as I: it would be life enhancing for those who have transportation to share it.

USB monitors

We received an e-mail message asking about connecting a monitor to a USB port…

I found three monitors that connect via a USB port:
the LG L206WU-WF 20″ Widescreen LCD Monitor
the 19″ Samsung UbiSync 940UX
and the 4.3″ Century LCD-4300U.

You will find adapters available from various sources…EVGA Corporation has a couple of USB-to-monitor adapters:

UV Plus+ | Model: UV16
Part Number: 100-U2-UV16-A1
Max Resolution (Analog and Digital) 1680×1050

UV Plus+ | Model: UV12
Part Number: 100-U2-UV12-A1
Max Resolution (Analog and Digital) 1440×900

USB ID (for humans and animals)

“Medic ID bracelets or medical alert emblems have only a word or phone number on them. MedicTag is designed to let you carry all your emergency information with you at all times…”

MedicTag is a USB digital memory chip drive that contains your emergency information. Any emergency service, ambulance, police or rescue squad with a laptop computer can have instant access to all your emergency information: emergency contacts, existing conditions, allergies, medications…

It could be useful to: joggers, cyclists, hikers , hunters, those with alzheimer’s, those who live in areas where natural disasters could happen (hurricanes/fires/floods/earthquakes/tornados)…

The CARE Memory Band is a USB drive-integrated wristband.

For pets, there’s the PetSafe Micro I.D. Rescue Collar (available in 3 sizes PETCO retail stores nationwide and online).
