#12Hmmm..you might have to include an instruction manual with that :).
Re: Introduction to my Business Card
#13I like this because he is demonstrating his technical ingenuity by designing and building the thing - from scratch - by himself. A great lead into getting an interview or being called in to quote for some work. But does this show commercial ingenuity ? Perhaps less so. People will be terrified of plugging a random USB device into their machine. And anyway it's pretty easy to buy things just like this - you see them q…
I like the idea of these a lot. I've been looking for a way to make sure people don't just throw out my business cards, and making them useful over a long period of time (ie: usb key!) would definitely help...

Sadly, people will just stick this, and any random USB device into their computers. I can't remember the company in question, but there was a story about a security audit where the hacker team got in by handing out free USB drives in the parking lot.

#15Doesn't mention how much it costs or how much time it takes to make each one. Certainly nontrivial on both, though. If you're going to have a business card like that then you it's a serious investment every time you give one out.

#16If this is going to HR-types, how do they know to tear off the corners? Is that in the cover letter?

Look at the card, this post's url is some of the only text on it.
(which would make me think the same care & attention should be put towards this post as his resume... typos [e.g. Opeh instead of Open in the final sentence]? really?]

#18This is very cool. Geekout aside: I have a micro-SD card (it plugs into an SD card for housing). It's about the size and thickness of my little finger nail. It holds 4GB (ie 5 CDs; 4000 novels), and it's near the bottom of the range.

5 eur each apparently. Although that probably doesn't include the soldering.

Actually he does say how much it costs:
"Clearly, it is not the cheaper business card in the world (about 5 euros/piece for a small batch order), but it is a (relatively) small price for having a card in your pocket that has more CPU power than the computer that led the man to the moon."
