He was rushed to Helsinki Hospital where he was examined by a hand surgeon who said they were unable to save it and amputated half of the finger.
When Jerry told doctors what he did for a living they joked he should have a USB 'finger drive' but that was good enough for him, and he set about making one."

The software developer from Helsinki lost his finger last summer after crashing his one week old Ducati Monster 696 motorbike. That's funny--I worked for a CEO that crashed his Ducati a week after he bought it. CEO of a software company, too.

“I’m planning to use anther prosthetic as a shell for the next version, which will have removable fingertip and an RFID tag,” he added.
“This is so cool, I’m planning to cut off another finger.”

I have an ex bike racer friend who claims that he shattered his right wrist racing and it was rebuilt using chicken bones. He can’t open the throttle as wide any more because of the “chicken” bones.

Flash drives are very slow to write. Don’t think I’d want to stand there for 10 minutes while my finger loads. And hygiene? Don’t want him borrowing my laptop.

So does he have to upgrade in a few years?

I’ve heard ‘em called “thumb drives” before, but never “ring finger drives.”
