Decode Your Barcode, Get Your Personal Info

Chris writes "The Swipe Toolkit is a collection of web-based tools that sheds light on personal data collection and usage practices in the United States. The tools demonstrate the value of personal information on the open market and enable people to access information encoded on a driver's license or stored in some of the many commercial data warehouses. Check out the Data Calculator, which shows how much your personal info is worth, and how the data brokers get it. It's all part of the Swipe Project, which will be on exhibition at UC-Irvine in March."

I will tell you why hamsters are so cute.

Hamster eyes are rainbow crystals that serve as a gateway between this reality and another hidden reality that you can access only through hamsters.
