			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve seen a business card that light up, and even ones that ask if you&#8217;re a person. But in terms of nerdity, none of those can come close to Engr. Ramiro Veredas&#8217; circuit board business card, which he says has &#8220;more CPU power than the computer that led  the man to the moon.&#8221; The CPU in question? A 16-bit, 32MHz microcontroller.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-33991  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/circuitboard-business-card-1.jpg" alt="circuitboard business card 1" width="600" height="389" title="circuitboard business card 1 photo" /></p>
<p>So yeah, it&#8217;s not impressive by today&#8217;s standards – I mean if this thing can send men to the moon, then our phones are probably smart enough to send us to Jupiter or something – but it sure makes for good conversation, and that could help when you&#8217;re on a job interview.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-33992  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/circuitboard-business-card-2.jpg" alt="circuitboard business card 2" width="600" height="401" title="circuitboard business card 2 photo" /></p>
<p>As you can see, the card has a USB connector. When it&#8217;s plugged into a computer, a script automatically launches an HTML file containing Veredas&#8217; CV. The card&#8217;s 24KB onboard memory is enough to store the script and the HTML file, but it can be augmented with up to 32 MB of memory if needed – and that&#8217;s a big if.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-33993  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/circuitboard-business-card-3.jpg" alt="circuitboard business card 3" width="600" height="387" title="circuitboard business card 3 photo" /></p>
<p>The back of the card has an additional message, although I think we can all tell just by looking that it&#8217;s more than just a business card. Actually it would have made more sense if it said &#8220;This is also a business card!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know those annoying (but necessary) anti-robo-spam CAPTCHA boxes you have to deal with when filling out forms on the web? Here&#8217;s a clever idea for some eye-catching business cards based on CAPTCHA technology.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-16391 aligncenter" title="captcha_business_cards" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/captcha_business_cards.jpg" alt="captcha business cards" width="600" height="824" /></p>
<p>Berlin-based artist <a href="http://www.datenform.de/areyouhumaneng.html">Aram Bartholl</a> created these cards by uploading the individual images to <a href="http://www.moo.com">MOO Cards</a>, who specializes in making tiny business cards, each with a different image. While the cards ask the question &#8220;Are you human?&#8221;, I&#8217;m not quite sure what would happen if you handed one of these to a robot. Would it self-destruct? That would be cool.</p>
<p>Did you know CAPTCHA stands for <em>&#8220;Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart&#8221;?</em> I always thought it meant <em>&#8220;Cats Acting Cool Taste Chocolate Ham Animals&#8221;</em>. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62zX5x-bgEM">Mnemonics, your dear, dear friend</a>.</p>
