ShadowAce, others, greets. i'm Lepht, the author of the article. i just wanted to thank y'all for reading and discussing, and to reply to a few things. Little Pig: you're right, it is mostly gimmick. the RFID is entirely so, but the Nd-60 nodes do have a proper purpose, and are dependent on my body to do their work (viz. they are augmentations rather than just implanted devices). the haptic compass i'm working on will be less... pointless. you're also right to doubt my legitimacy; you can see me inserting a node on YouTube, and documenting stuff on my blog, but that's all the evidence i can give so far. requests welcome to come find my ass in RL and demo.
Jack Hydrazine, John.Galt2012, no-s - correct. i can't even go near an MRI room; i've got a meditag that tells people that, but anything with a high enough Gauss will rip the nodes right out of my fingertips. comes with the territory... Ernest_at_the_Beach - aw, c'mon. Celerity - you want Steve Haworth, or i've got a FAQ somewhere with a list of node suppliers. i have transdermals myself, but they're made of titanium (hence non-conductive) and not close enough to nerve clusters. it's fingertips or nothing, i'm pretty sure. the sensations are completely worth it. i might forget to come back here and check for replies, in which case y'all are welcome to come find me on my
awful blog or email me at @ lepht trioptimum.com. any question is a good question. peace L
