And I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, knitting
Subway Knitter's much-admired CharlieCard mittens—woolen accessories with a pocket for an RFID subway pass, so you can just slap the turnstile instead of fishing the card out of your wallet in your pre-caffeinated morning-commute state—have become a curious case study in the diverse demographics of the online knitting community.
Are these mittens a godsend for cold, clumsy hands, or are we knitting the Mark of the Beast onto ourselves?
If that seems like a non wtf sequitur, here's some background reading: Spychips: How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track Your Every Move with RFID by Katherine Albrecht & Liz McIntyre (Nelson Current, 2005), later reissued with the even more strident title The Spychips Threat: Why Christians Should Resist RFID and Electronic Surveillance.
Cliffs notes: Godtube!
