The NFC Forum, the non-profit org made up of big tech companies promoting the NFC standard, envisions a future wherein one tap is all you need for multiple actions at once. With a single tap, for instance, you could pay for your purchase, get points on your rewards account and receive a digital receipt on your phone. The organization released a document that can give you an overview of what the NFC multi-purpose tap capability is and how it can potentially be used.

Metcalfe, MS

Vanishing Georgia

Though plain enough to be considered vernacular, this house has Victorian sensibilities and therefore I’d consider it a transitional Folk Victorian. It’s actually quite imposing and set beautifully back on a large lot in the small residential section of Metcalfe.
