Simple and effective!
I was thinking more along the lines of the Linux business card with ~~glorious Hanna Montana Linux~~ a "happy birthday" Plymouth theme

Wow that is crazy that it runs Linux and is less than $3, that guy would put the executives from the scene in American Psycho to shame with that business card.

What I had in mind was a program with a GUI that had text, some images and you can click through the pages and maybe do something else. I suppose you could pull off something similar to what you linked with a compact arduino-type device, some kind of flat 5v battery and maybe an e-paper display that you can print scrolling text to and maybe a little graphic. I suppose not very similar to what you linked, but would be cool in its own right

Omg, clever idea, gotta save it for making it in the future lol.

We've got a project on our hands with what you described! I'm too hardwareless for that though :(
