Me to, it's just like they were like: "Well there are very small computers where you put linux on a SD card and run it on the small computer. Well we did exactly that, linux on a sd card."

I'd strap it and use it like a watch. Apart from that, I don't know what I'd do with it. But very cool indeed.

maybe make a board to use them as modular distributed processors? I havent seen any specs though to know if it would be worth while though. Chances are cheaper options are available...
