We've heard of people implanting magnets into their fingers, but next to this they seem almost sensible.

Cannon inserted the computer chip into his arm in an effort to record and transmit his biometrical data to an external device.

Vice reports that the sensor - a Circadia 1.0 - is an open-source way to monitor different bodily functions. But because surgeons refused to implant it, Cannon had to turn to the fringe body-mod community for help placing it in his body.
Take a look at how the operation went, below, and head over to Motherboard for the full story.
