MAKE: Blog: Meet...the Taggers

Meet...the Taggers

Chipped-1
MAKE pal Mikey Sklar is in the New Yorker, he'll also be at Maker Faire! - "He has no tattoos, for example, or any desire to have any parts of his body pierced. He does have a radiofrequency identification chip implanted in him, though, and he is enthusiastic about having other electronic devices implanted in him, too. An RFID chip is about the size of a grain of rice. People who use them in novel ways call them tags. They call themselves taggers; someone with a chip implanted in him has been tagged." Thanks Arwen! - Link.
