The Weekly Inventions of

A man is standing in an airport holding a mobile phone in his hand. The phone has waves emanating from it which makes it seem it is communicating with the tag on the man’s luggage which also has waves coming out of it. The luggage tag has a screen on it displaying info about a file transfer that is in progress and even which gate the flight they are going to is.

TagVault

18th October 2025

After my caffeine fuelled (inside and out) refreshing shower / cup of coffee session my brain was immediately whirring on how to rescue Dennis and also spend all of the leftover money I had on drilling even further into the centre of the earth when the doorbell rang.

I quickly hurried to the door and to my surprise it was Zargoid 5 who had arrived and had his luggage with him. Had he interrupted his holiday, or had my shower been really long?

I welcomed him in. He explained that thanks to the rockets built into a part of his body I prefer not to think about, he had managed to complete a global holiday in less than 24 hours. He’d visited three robot museums in three time zones. And, since he doesn’t sleep (he just enters low-power smouldering mode), he’d spent every second museuming.

I of course invited him in, and asked him how the holiday had been. He said it had been very good, and that he wanted to show me all the pictures that he had taken. At first, I wondered where he was storing those pictures, but then I realised… that wasn’t just any old luggage that he was using, his luggage was sporting one of my very own inventions… TagVault.

What is TagVault? Well it is a sleek and durable luggage tag with an integrated high-capacity memory card. The tag features a customizable digital display for personal details and is securely attached to whichever suitcase you choose to use. The TagVault is waterproof, shock-resistant, and RFID-protected (if you don’t know what that is… you need it).

Zargoid 5 whipped out his phone and connected to the TagVault to show he had managed to take 273 thousand photos in the last 24 hours. More than 1 photo a second… this was going to be a long slide show… I’m glad so much coffee was sloshing around inside me, but I could see that TagVault had dutifully recorded every bit of it.

Do take an incredible number of photos while travelling? Do you sometimes wonder what RFID is and if you need it? Would you like a really clear digital display on your luggage which made it really obvious the bag was yours?

If you said yes to any of those questions, or basically any other question, or if you said no, then you need TagVault today (even if you don’t know what you are talking about).

Note to self: Consider making a combo TagVault with a PuzzlePack, the TagVault could hold the instructions to putting the PuzzlePack back together.
