Business cards, part 2

I've been thinking about them for a little while now and had just recently asked a designer friend of mine to help me come up with something awesome so I can sound like this guy.




Not really. No one should sound like this guy. But I'm still pulling together ideas for a contact card. I don't want my cards related to a specific business or job, just something I can hand out if someone wants to find me somehow. Not that I don't have an online presence, it's just that physical reminders help me remember things better. That's one of the reasons I'll never get rid of my 14th Edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, but that's another story for another time. I realize that business cards seem to be moving into obsolescence, but if they're done well, they can be really great. Progress on my cards isn't coming quickly, but so what? I'm not in a rush. Also, it gives me a chance to work on getting that job title I really want.

So while I'm collecting ideas, what kinds of things have you seen on business cards that you've liked and what things should I absolutely avoid?
