This and the other business card thread reminds me of an idea for a business card I once had. I don't even know how it is called, but there is this kind of plastic coating for paper that consists of stripes of lenses, so that you see something different on the paper depending on the angle you look at it from (usually this is used on cheap gadgets for children). It turns out you can create pictures for that at home, at least a popular computer magazine claimed so some time ago and explained how to do it.
Being into games design at the time, I dreamed about showing an animation on my business card (a flying space ship, or space invaders perhaps?). In the end I was unable to find that plastic coating anywhere (I gave up too soon), and abandoned the idea.
Maybe I should pick it up again, but then again business cards seem also a bit yesterday. My second favorite design from ideo is the device that scans the business card and then burns it on the spot ( ;-) http://www.ideo.com/identity/cardpyre.htm )
