DIY USB RFID Kit

RFID is a pretty cool bit a technology that typically costs some bucks to get into. ThinkGeek has an RFID kit that you can buy and play with that includes a programmable USB RFID reader and about fifteen read-only RFID tags you can put on your stuff. They even include an implantable RFID tag that I don’t suggest you attempt use. What you will do with the RFID kit is up to you. It seems a key fob is included so you can forget loosing your keys. You could even RFID your Twinkies if your roommate likes to swipe your snacks. An included book tells you how to program some cool stuff like an RFID door lock, Windows log in and some other stuff. The read range of the tags is approximately four inches, so don’t plan on finding things that are too lost.
