The thought of biometric identification cards is really bothersome; so instead, I'm looking at this emulator (OS images here).

Also trying to find the most durable means of turning the frame of an old pair of safety goggles black. Might do the electrochemical etching- probably won't do any electroplating, spray painting, or enameling.
