A few weeks back I wondered if Philips was going to get more involved in the Second Life community (reLink). Well, it just so happens I caught word that they’re conducting a discussion group later today inside the virtual world to discuss, interestingly enough, “SKIN: Tattoos” (Link).

A few of you might recall me at some point mentioning Microsoft’s patent for using skin as an electrical conductor. It made the news and the blog rounds and, because I’ve done some wearable computing design, it got my attention as well. What you may not know is that the general idea has been around a while (Link). The latest discussions I’ve read have to do with “printing” RFID tags on soldiers and what not. Interesting material.
