Plastic

Whenever I  saw people hawking cheap wallets, with zillions of slots for plastic cards, in India - I used to think these people are crazy. Whose going to use so many slots? But coming to America changed that.

In just a month after coming here, I have like already accumulated 8 cards. You can see that there are ID cards, Bank card, Credit card, Health Insurance card, Social Security card, etc. You’ll get a card at every other place you go. And if you go to a new place one day, people there will be after you selling their specialty ’store’ card - ANOTHER card for you to add to your wallet. And trust me these are just the cards that I carry in my wallet(Yes, I do have to carry them everyday). Apart from these the public transportation runs on magnetic cards too.

How about someone implement something cool like a “Super Card”. Any card that you would normally get should be just another piece of data that can be stored on your super card. Just one Card! Boy I sure would love that. There was a concept like this a few years back but I definitely don’t know whatever happened to it.

The weekend is here and finally some quality time to watch some movies. I have been downloading a lost of stuff but never had the time the past week to watch any. And we have a Game Day tomorrow sponsored by SFSU ACM. There will be Nintendo Wii and some traditional Atari games. Free pizza and soft drinks too . I love ACM. We have like great food whenever we have a meeting. And we have a meeting every week.
