Cute. Though even on a microSD card, there's room to write a digit
or three. I tried writing numbers with a silver Sharpie, then keeping
a file on my computer that mapped numbers to what was on the card.
But of course, I wasn't disciplined enough about keeping the file
updated. Probably a better solution is some sort of "wallet" with
slots for the microSD cards with erasable labels next to them, and
each one having a number or letter which corresponds to a Sharpie
marking on the card. Adafruit sells the best microSD wallets I've
found so far; not perfect but pretty good.
