Tales of Human Upgrades: Jerry Jalava’s USB Finger

Jerry Jalava was riding his motorcycle home from work one day, when a deer ran in front of him. Long story short, he lost half his index finger. So, of course, he replaced it with a USB flash drive.

The USB drive isn't permanently fused to his finger, unfortunately. Instead, it's inside a rubber tip that he fits onto the nub of his finger. Eventually, however, he's hoping to upgrade it to a more truly bionic upgrade.

Until then, he still gets to carry around a Linux distribution in the tip of his finger, and you don't. Maybe someday, friends.
