Giving out a paper business card is so 1960s. Giving out a PCB business card, well that gets you up to the early 2010s. If you really want to stand out these days, give them a fully-functional EKG in a business card. (Note: works best if you’re leading an open-source electrocardiography project.)

Looking through the schematics (PDF), there’s not much to the card. At the center of everything is an ADuC7061, which is an ARM microprocessor equipped with 24-bit ADCs that also has an internal DAC-driven voltage reference connected to one of the user’s thumbs

I cannot do this, I have a very sensitive nervous system, anything more than .0001 milli-volts across the thumbs and my internal processor chip freezes and need to reboot causing me to lose consciousness...

WOW A hundred nano-volts and you lose consciousness? That is five femto amps (5E10-15) in a typical 20Meg ohm thumb to thumb resistance. You need to avoid smelling coffee. Just the fumes could induce you into a coma. /s

When I got home from the hospital after surgery, I found an EKG electrode that the techs forgot to remove. Stuck it on my refrigerator.

I have a doctor friend who has a special case on his iPhone which has an app on it that does the same thing.

Hey, me too! I once walked out with a IV still on the back of my left hand, it was a great for answering the ‘Where’ve you been?’ at the bar I went to upon discharge. Heh!

Make sure you take your Emotion Chip offline first. That'll do the trick.
