Romantic Couple Embeds Matching RFID Chips to Demonstrate Undying Love, Brutal Insanity

February 16th, 2006 at 8:49 am by Preston Taylor Holmes

Unfortunately, I didn’t catch this one in time for Valentine’s, but at least it’s still Valentine’s week, so that counts for something.

Dizzy Canadian chick agrees to matching RFID implants, calls her boyfriend’s idea “really neat”.

Grand gestures of love take many forms on Valentine’s Day — flowers, chocolate, romantic dinners — but a tech-savvy couple has taken it to a new level.

Jennifer Tomblin and Amal Graafstra have made the most modern declaration of their affection for each other, with implanted electronic chips that allow them unfettered access to each other’s lives.

It’s called Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID. Both have had a small electronic chip embedded under their skin that grants access to each other’s front doors and home computers.

The system works like a key-card. A simple swipe of the wrist across an electronic sensor, and they’re in.

The couple sees the decision as a modern declaration of love that also happens to be functional.

And it’s a far more functional declaration of love than some nasty old wedding, which I suppose would be far more traumatic than having chips implanted under their skin. One has to wonder if it would be easier to get matching tattoos – and which would be easier to remove once the happy couple splits.

What sold the young lady on 23-year-old Tomblin on getting her own implant?

“He was writing a book and he was building all these really neat projects, and he’d get into his house and car and computer with it, and I decided if I could do something like that too, it would be really neat,” Tomblin said.

Jennifer may want to think twice about this arrangment – especially if it turns out that her boyfriend Amal has some control issues. But then again, perhaps it’s all as innocent as it seems. It is Valentine’s week, after all, and we’re entitled to some romantic detachment from reality.

Hmmm. My tin foil hat keeps telling me that this RFID stuff is “the mark of the beast”. It started with animals…now it’s people. Just sayin’.

Yeah… Neat… The only thing better would be to exchange blood and carry it in glass vials and wear it around their necks on a necklace… Since… Well… That’s never been done before, right?!

professional resume writing services

It is key for me purely to approach professional resume writing services fundamentally, because primarily I can not construct an accurate resume. I fully cannot case monogamous blunders. It is my vital bug. I see just the cool experts weave true formative resumes. I avouch it is a substantive guide for me.
