This is interesting science... I see lots of cool uses, and also very nefarious uses possible. I guess it is the same with anything, it can be used for good or bad.

Cool non the less.

"Temporary electronic tattoos could soon help people fly drones with only thought and talk seemingly telepathically without speech over smartphones, researchers say. Electrical engineer Todd Coleman at the University of California at San Diego is devising noninvasive means of controlling machines via the mind, techniques virtually everyone might be able to use.
Commanding machines using the brain is no longer the stuff of science fiction. In recent years, brain implants have enabled people to control robotics using only their minds, raising the prospect that one day patients could overcome disabilities using bionic limbs or mechanical exoskeletons."

Fixed? Could have sworn you meant sugar cookies.

Seriously though, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the best place to put those tattoos turned out to be the forehead or the back of the hand....

lol Reverenddel. I can make you sugar free cookies. =)

I had friends over this last Sunday for dinner, and games. For dinner Husband made steak. I made mushroom risotto, and kale chips. I made braised pineapple in phyllo dough cups, with a conelle (that is scoup) of vanilla ice cream for a dessert.

The pineapple were braised in, Orange juice, Orange zest, Grand Marnier (that there is orange flavored Alchy hawl, also works really well with rum as well), vanilla, and a little bit of brown sugar. I then baked off phyllo cups and filled the baked cup with the braised pineapple, and put a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I think you can have that dessert Reverenddel as it has very little sugar other than the sugars in the fruit.

Cool. Sort of Banannas Foster only with pineapple and no Bannanas, huh?

Gotta watch those sugars as well. (sigh) I like the weight drop...

But damned if I don't crave an Ecclair, or Cream Horn on occasion. HAHAHA!

A temporary tatoo on the back of your head allows you to control an airplane? Dang! Wonder if someday we'll see a crash because some guy got absentminded and scratched his head?

Yes similar, but not flambe'd. I did not set them on fire. =)

I like to feed people. *grins*

Aww Reverenddel, but you can have some sugar right? Once in a while as a reward?

On days when I feel like misbehavin'... I try to be a "good boy" all the time, but I am with "sugar sin" HAHAHA

I usually have very SMALL portions even when I cheat. I try to stay below 100-150 carbs a day... And that's being GENEROUS.

What I miss? Challah bread with cinnamon, raisins, dates, almonds, and pistachios, with a lil' brown sugar mixed in... There is a Croatian baker who would make those for breakfast. Dear...Gawd... that heated with a glass of milk was like heaven.

And I miss bananas foster over homemade french vanilla ice cream... YOU PEOPLE ARE EEEEVILLL!!! HAHAHAH

So what happens when I am telepathically talking to my wife when a hot chick walks by? Does she get the same message as other parts of MY body will?

Seems to me that this sort of thing can be programmed to control the wearer, too. I regard this technology in the same way I regard hypnotism; I do not trust it and want no parts of it.

SWMBO doesn't need that NEW technology. She was BORN with the ability to do that.

Heck, they might have copied her circuitry to make them consarned tatoos.

Point well taken. If it can read what you're thinking and send it to who you want to communicate with, WHO KNOWS where else it's getting sent? That's a WHOLE LOT worse than them damned black boxes in your car that we've been bitching about lately.

Next step? your tatoo will order your hand to slap your face and your mouth to turn yourself in to the political officer whenever you have an unkind thought about the dear leader.

Fortunately for TacticalDad we are wired the same way in some ways. I can very much appreciate a beautiful Woman. I just happen to like both. =)

Hate me if you want... Shrugs I still get to look, and he does not get into trouble when he notices a pretty one. He will just point out "hey she is pretty" or hey look at her, or did you see her?... etc etc etc.

The good Lord made me so that I can appreciate beauty in all forms. I am not complaining.

The only thing I can think of is barcodes tattoo'd on the back of people's necks...

And that's how they track you!

There's a remote possibility that you'll find Swedish Fish or other gummies soaked in ti-test vodka, rum, or grain alchohol of interest, then.


I can see where some sensors would be easily made as a temp tattoo, but for other than the most simple things, there's have to be several of them placed and a fair amount of circuitry nearby. Maybe when they finally get some quantum circuitry out of the lab...

If's fun to think about though. I can see many potential industrial, hobbiest, and even prurient applications.

That could be good for a laugh at the self-checkout lane in the grocery store

Especially when you find out that your barcode tat decodes to a small can of chickpeas

Tats need to be a big ol' 666, that'll be just great!
