Disputing credit report errors
Sunday, August 31st, 2008
It is foolhardy to assume that since the report is governed by the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), it cannot have errors. In a cyber world, identity thefts have become common and there is a high chance that someone may have used your Social Security Number or your credit card number to make some purchases or take some loans on your name.

Jeff Fisher has a real “identity crisis!” in Chicago
Sunday, August 31st, 2008
Ever since my book, Identity Crisis!: 50 redesigns that transformed stale identities into successful brands was released last fall I have used the line "Jeff Fisher is having an Identity Crisis!" to market and promote the thing. I never expected that I would actually have a real "identity crisis" of any kind. Well, after several days in Chicago at the Hyatt Regency Hotel - where I was the closing speaker at the Creative Freelancer Conference - I was preparing to head to the airport and I had a

Uncle Milton Industries has been selling ant farms to children since 1956. Some years ago, I remember opening one up with a friend. There were no actual ants included in the box. Instead, there was a card that you filled in with your address, and the company would mail you some ants. My friend expressed surprise that you could get ants sent to you in the mail. I replied: "What's really ...

USPS now another tendril of DHS…
Sunday, August 31st, 2008
USPS now another tendril of DHS... [ music | Radiohead - Karma Police ] When I checked my Post Office Box on Monday, I found a lovely photocopied letter amongst my mail. This is a large scan of the letter, and this is a smaller scan. The only edit I performed was to erase my PO Box number that had been hand written above where it says "ID only". The "ID only" part was also handwritten, but is part of the photocopy, while my individual copy had my number written on it. I've also retyped the le

RFID (Radio Frequency ID) tags are little paper stickers with circuitry hidden inside that can broadcast identification data when probed with the appropriate radio signal. They’re cheap- close-to-free, yet each one has a unique number, and that number is large enough that essentially every thing in the universe can have its own tag. They’re extremely useful for things like warehouse inventory, where radio transponders can continuously query the entire contents, and track the location of each an
Chaos In St Paul- Already!
Sunday, August 31st, 2008
Over at my blog, Integral Psychosis I posted daily- and in some cases with multiple updates- what I could find (and what I heard from friends on the ground) about the protests at the DNC. My plan was/is to do the same for the RNC. However, I thought I had a few days to post about other stuff, clean the house, work in the garden, and finish re-siding my garage. Boy was I wrong. Activists, folks concerned with police oppression (and political oppression of minority ideas), and those interested
Home From Home……And My Mate Dunno
Saturday, August 30th, 2008
Jump to Comments I was born with a body that renders me quite incapable of doing anything very well. I’m rubbish at everything. Tennis? I’m so spectacularly bad, I can only just beat my nephew Luke and he’s 7. DIY and home improvement? For me this is simply impossible. Even if I attempt something simple, such as hanging a picture, I end up in the ER, the painting ends up ruined and the wall ends up in the garden. It was the same when I played golf for the first time - I knew there would never be

If you were among the millions who spurned this year's fashion for British holidays, how satisfied were you – sorry to sound like another pesky canvasser – with the UK border experience, from obtaining a passport to returning through Immigration? I only ask because Manchester airport is experimenting with "face-scanners" – machines that replace real live passport control officers. In future, ...
Thoughts on the Current Immigration Mess - August 2006
Saturday, August 30th, 2008
1. 12 million illegal immigrants did not appear overnight. Actions by Congress - or the lack of action - created the environment for illegal immigration to exist. 2. The main drive behind legal immigration is family reunification, a holdover from WWII. Is it time to give preference to nurses and computer engineers over brothers and sisters of U.S. Citizens? What we need is not what we get. 3. Actions by Congress always have unintended consequences. Congress put annual limits on the number of
