In the next few years, it wants to add sensors that will read your vital signs--pulse, temperature, blood sugar and so on--and a satellite receiver that can track where you are. The company makes a pager-like gadget called Digital Angel that does both those things, and its engineers are doing their darnedest to cram Digital Angel's functions into a package small enough to implant.

We'll probably shoot it in March, after I come back from my book tour in Europe...
UNEASY RIDERS The downside of baby boomers getting in touch with their inner Hell's Angel is a mounting death toll. New studies show motorcycle fatalities are up 35% in just three years. The increase is mostly among riders 40 and older and those who ride big bikes. Contributing factors are speeding, drinking alcohol and not wearing a helmet...
