Well, yes, but that’s a very seedy site that appears to be about government conspiracy theories. This is a [better one](http://inventorspot.com/articles/meet-zoe-quinn-girl-whos-turning-herself-real-life-cyborg).

The woman is well on the extreme end of the nerdy artist spectrum. I’d heard of the magnet bodymod, but not actually embedding a chip.

And, yes, this is the woman that was supposedly slutting up the gaming industry. She’s a nerd among nerds.

Not very useful if she needs an MRI or needs to handle magnetic HDDs.
