I wonder if you could work one of those RFID chips into a ring or a cufflink... --The Doctor

[http://www.trossenrobotics.com/store/c/2966-Mifare-1S50.aspx Trossen Robotics] in Westchester, IL sells a few 13.56MHz RFID Tags that might be useful to dissect and or transplant into. Very similar to a cufflink. I've ordered a few and will see how it works. Right now the Antenna design is the hardest part. How do you get enough power to the chip from an adhoc antenna?
