I finally broke down and bought something off Thinkgeek: the Wi-Fi Detecting Watch.

[EDIT] Wait, I lied, I also have a “got root?” sweatshirt.

Fun with military ID

So, being in the military, I get one of these nifty little dealies. I never bothered to look into them, but I saw a USB reader for $25 when they shipped us out for training, so I figured, what the hell.

I haven’t bothered to get really into smartcard hacking (yet?), but I have got it locking and unlocking my screen (and other assorted fun things when my friends plug their cards in).
