[John Park] has managed to snag a couple interesting business cards at Maker Faire. The first is Adafruit’s laser cut Spirograph card. The other is a ATtiny 2313 prototyping board from Evil Mad Science; it looks to be the same style as their well-known AVR target board. We’ve also heard rumors that [Jérôme Demers] has bunch of resistor bending cards.

For more business card nonsense, check out: [Goodspeed]‘s smart card emulator, [Mayer]‘s embedded gears, and our web server business card.

    I didnt see either of those, wish I would have grabbed em. Where were those booths located? I was there open to close, and I feel like I saw 85% of everything. So much fun!

    Very cool but they must be very expensive to make. I don’t think that would be someones real business card but rather the one you only give out on special occasions.

    Ive always liked the idea of useful/ weird/ electronic business cards, but gee they must be expensive to make. so cool, add some useful circuit and a solar panel and these things could take over the WORLD! well not quite.

    You know, laser cutting can be cheap if you know where to go. I do all my stuff @ TechShop, so it’s pretty cheap in contrast to having it sent out. I was actually handing out these ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/21138021@n06/3443393175/ ) at the Faire.

    Hrm… scratch that link. Seems hackaday filters to all lower case. That’s a link breaker, that is.

    Anyway, I’m referring to these ( http://sinbox.org/?p=30 )
