in SXSW 2009: Getting By Without a Badge on Geeked.Info
as it happens:

* Eddie's pre-registered Gold for press did not have an RFID (we looked after reading this post)
* a friend (well known, web-celeb type) used a 2008 badge the entire time
* if anyone wants to play with my Gold RFID badge, it's yours to inspect

it generally raises questions around what they were doing with the RFID, and why they selected the way they did.

edrabbit hahah that's great. My cats didn't seem to concerned about them either, and went about their normal routine of alternating between bathing, sleeping, and wondering what the heck I was doing when I ran to the windows.

guess I should have waited to get the tattoo... ;)

* actually, I have a naughty Girl Scouts uniform, with self-made merit badges that are for, um, certain skills and merits. I ordered the basic uniform off the GSA site in their girls "plus" sizes (read: normal woman sizes) and customized the sash by making my own badges via iron-on printer paper.

in Facebook kicks political blogger off on Scobleizer
@ Evo Terra: caught my name in your comment; I'd be happy to show you my passport anytime. it says Violet Blue (as does all my legal and true identification information). bizarrely, I just (reluctantly) signed onto Facebook because a friend insisted. ugh!

but yeah -- do you think they'd make a high profile celeb like Beyonce use her birth name, or cancel her account? or, like, when Hollywood personalities check into hotels under different names for privacy reasons, would they get kicked out for not registering at the desk for their "real name"? I'd bet not.
