He made it by hand....  LOL... sorry, this particular one at the moment
isn't anything more than a USB drive.... though it does include a tiny
microprocessor one could repurpose.

Personally for myself, I'd rather splurge on a 10$ AVR32 chip which can
run a cutdown version of linux....and compile PHP onto it with Joomla
installed and my resume/contact info preloaded. :-)

But then your getting into a lot more complications[how do you make it a
"network" so the user can connect to it.....]


Or for mass production, going with a
http://evilmadscience.com/productsmenu/tinykitlist/74-atmegaxx8
breadboard and doing something there[bluetooth vcard database?  speaker
which says something?  Not so thrilled with the POV card, but it is
pretty neat.

I find it thrilling that this stuff is now mass marketed to the point
where you can build something functional like this for under 25$....[I
think the one I linked to originally runs around 10$ for the parts]....

I find it even more thrilling that a noob like me can actually read
through this stuff and figure out how to put one of these together.... 
[just wish there was a hackerspace up here in Kingston like the one you
lucky dogs have down in NYC]
