Instead of a business card, I'd love an ultrathin pleasure card you can refill with virtual beer and virtually drink! You could input your weight, and it could track you BAC!

I made "PalmJoint", a beamable Palm pleasure card for CodeCon 2002, when everybody was beaming their contacts around by IR at conferences, I would beam an interactive doobie simulator a bunch of people could play together in a circle. Each person gets their own doobie, and you can have contests to see who can virtually smoke theirs the quickest, or keep it lit for the longest time. I never get around to implementing an IR token passing network:

Some conferences of the era had kiosks with IR LEDs that beamed out a Palm app with a conference map and schedule, which would have been great to hijack for beaming out PalmJoints instead.
