Worst haircut ever

Friday, February 23rd, 2007

Ok, so here’s the deal. I have a business meeting coming up on Monday and I needed a haircut. My hair is kind of curly but not quite what it used to be when I was younger, so it just kind of poofs out all floofy like. I had to ship some stuff at FedEx, […]

RFID Toys kit now on sale at Think Geek

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

I’ve loved Think Geek ever since it launched… they always have crazy kits and odd items up for sale that geeks like myself love. Matt Trossen of Trossen Robotics has begun selling RFID Toys kits online at Think Geek, which I think is a great move. Same price, but Think Geek’s presentation pic is really […]

I make #5 in the RFID Gazette’s Top 25 most influential people

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

Thanks to a post by an RFID Toys forum member, I found out today I made #5 on the RFID Gazette’s Top 25 Influencers in the RFID Industry list (pdf). I thought it was kind of interesting, and I have to say… thinking back to March 2005 when I put those first grainy cell phone […]

Bonaventure Cemetery, death, and evolution.

Sunday, February 18th, 2007

Jenny and I finally got our lazy bones over to Bonaventure Cemetery… a place Jenny has been wanting to see for quite some time. She insisted I bring my “good” camera, and I’m glad I did. We walked around the huge grounds through crazy wind and blowing dust, contemplating life and death.   It always […]

Blood types

Sunday, February 11th, 2007

Now that J and I are gettin hitched, we figured it was time to get a blood test. Since both our doctors are thousands of miles away in Seattle and Vancouver, and the fact that Jenny’s doctor is such a flaming cunt she flat out refused to tell Jenny her blood type or even authorize […]

Jekyll Island (Georgia’s Jewel)

Sunday, February 11th, 2007

Well, we ended up going down to Brunswick. It was a typical highway drive down I-95, but it was good to get out of the house for a bit. Brunswick is interesting, and it resembles Savannah quite a lot. There’s even a bridge there that leads from Brunswick over to Jekyll Island (The Jewel of […]

Hello World

Sunday, February 11th, 2007

Well hello world! Yesterday I took some time off from coding the next txtGroups messaging platform to construct this blog server. Every once in a while, even though I’m busy beyond belief, I get the urge to just core dump to a blog entry of some sort… but I never wanted to setup a blog […]

About Amal Graafstra

Saturday, February 10th, 2007

Hi, I’m Amal… just a regular guy from Washington State, USA with a rather odd name for a 6’4″ blond Dutch/Norwegian guy. I have an entrepreneurial spirit and a penchant for the wonders of science, technology, and the oddities the universe has to offer. I love the beauty of fractals, the wonder of paired particles, […]
