Watching how many accidents there are these days with trucks, taxis and other vehicles made me realise how vulnerable we are when we leave home. I developed a product called Scan Me Save Me NFC which allows first responders instant access to your medical records and most importantly who you are. Not address or ID just medical info, disabilities if any and contact info. No facial recognition required or trying to open your mobile... Scan Me Save is a licence disk, arm band, brooch or helmet tag.

Visit my website https://www.scanmesaveme.com or download the app on Google Play Store or App store to order or program your tag. From only R100 per tag lifetime licence NO Subscription.

At last the App store shows we are live and Beta Testing means it's open to suggestions and changes.

Please download the app and let me know if there is anything that doesn't work well.

If you think it rocks (I do since I wrote it!) I ask you kindly to leave a review for the world to see.

Feel free to purchase an item if you don't already have one. And the Apple version will be uploaded for production on Monday. And that will take a week before it reflects on the app store.

Here is a shortcut to the listing.

Impossible comes from different places

Sometimes people don’t know what is considered impossible and simply step beyond inherited assumptions. Other times, people know exactly what conventional wisdom says and decide it may be wrong. They ask, “What if?” and move anyway.

Today I made it happen! Scan Me Save Me is finally fully ready for the market. Works 100% I've already added an upgrade to one of the read options ... the rejoinder can send a location via the app to the emergency contact when advising them that their loved one is compromised!

Thousands of lines of code and many hours behind my desk. Now the marketing starts as I've already advised as many emergency companies, associations etc as I could that our NFC tag works in the street, mountains, beaches, roads and rain without Internet being required...

Well done me!!!

🏍️ Is your Dad a biker? If he lives to ride, this Father’s Day give him something that completely matches his passion. Traditional paper business cards usually end up crumpled in a wallet or lost at the bottom of a tank bag—but these premium, custom Mobile Art NFC Business Cards are built for the road.

With a sleek, high-end Harley-Davidson or vintage motorcycle design on the front, it’s an instant conversation starter wherever he rolls.

📸 The Ultimate Personal Touch: Dual-Sided Customization
The beauty of these cards is that they are printed on both sides:

The Front: His favorite bike style, looking sharp and professional.

The Back: A high-quality photo of the family, his grandkids, or his favorite road trip memory.

⚡ Tap & Connect
It’s not just a stunning piece of mobile art; it’s incredibly functional. With a built-in NFC chip, all Dad has to do is tap his card against any smartphone to instantly share his contact details, website, or social links. No apps required, no tech hassle.

Give him a gift that is both deeply sentimental and undeniably cool.

👉 Order yours today for R100 to get it in time for Father’s Day! DM us to get started on Dad's custom design.

What a great funky style hotel in Gardens Cape Town. BlackBrick has done it again...turned a disused office block into a New York style hotel designed for young and old alike. Whether a business person or a tourist, the apartment style living gives you multiple options. And of course the view is a dream. The lift was crazy as it has two sides...that's not the funniest it stops on 2 floors ... one indicating East and one West. I'm curious to talk to the engineer who had to design that...off to breakfast in the concrete dining area...
