Re: OT: Piercings
Piercings and tattoos were on my list of things to do when I got out of the military (like long hair, beard, gut). The problem is that they now violate my sense of "hackerness". Too "default". Too mainstream. I would have loved tribal tattoos but they are too common now.
However, I just started a conversation on the alt.hacker newsgroup on this same subject. We are working on the "next level". Piercings and Tattoos which include LED's and optic fibers inserted under the skin, to simulate borg and cyborg implants. The power source would be worn seperately. Now we just have to worry about the fact that the power arrangment we had in mind is already patented by microsoft.
I want an optic fiber insert of a tribal tattoo on my forehead which is invisible until I look like Im concentrating and then it starts glowing.
