I now have better than 20/20 vision without the assistance of glasses or contacts. Inside contains my tale... (Beware, references to demonic creatures lurk inside)

RFID implant good for PR?

RFID implant good for PR? 04/01/2005 12:24 PM
David Pescovitz: Yesterday, I posted a link to the Body Modification Ezine intervie w with Amaal Graafstra, the guy who had an RFID chip surgically implanted in his hand. This morning, BMEzine received an email from Matt Trossen, proprietor of Phidgets USA. Here's an excerpt:

I just ran across your RFID article with Amal. I couldn't believe what I was reading, especially since I sold him the RFID chip and reader! I remember him asking about the biobond stuff and now I know why. I had no idea someone was going to be crazy techie enough to put one in their own hand. Wild.

Anyhow, I was surprised to see a whole article about someone using an RFID reader and chip from us with no mention or link.

I have no idea what policies the site has about such things, but I'm a small business doing everything I can to grow and I think this article will generate some publicity and would love to let people know where the RFID reader + chip came from.

Praise to Pidget for seizing the weird PR opportunity! Link
