My latest dream

I'm dreaming again. Some folks dream of riches. Some of power over millions. Some of eternal fame. I dream of electronic cards. No, not sheep (and not security cards), but playing cards that display loadable, interactive content. Admittedly, this is only the most recent of my mad scientist dreams (though I am more mad than scientist), but it seems to be among my most bedevilling. In any case, do they exist? God, I hope so. That would be awesome. But for my board game, which I have blogged about earlier, such technology is out of the question. If there was a question. What was the question?

Oh, yeah. My game. I want interactive cards. And I will make 'em, dagnabbit. I've been working out a few ideas over the past few years (a spinning wheel, hidden between cards, and attached by bent thumbtack was the most interesting and doomed to failure). Right now I'm leaning toward two cards glued together with holes cut into the top. Between the two you move a strip up and down to create a sort of dynamic readout (colors maybe--green is keen, red is dead). I don't know. I'm just a dreamer with limited funds. Very limited funds. If you take the 'd' out of funds you have funs. Which means something. I think.

I just want cards that I can shuffle and talk to me. And dance. And are my little, svelte friends.

God, I hope no one is reading this.
