USB Powered Gadgets is what this site is based upon, however, it’s unfortunate some of these gadgets are complete Useless Novelty and thus get filed here.

iPhone Custom Flash Drive

Written by Richard Blanchard on January 26th, 2009. Posted in Flash Storage, Useless Novelty

Gizmodo did an interesting post today, it’s as though they knew I purchased an iPhone over the weekend.  Yes, I’m part of the “cool kid crowd.”  Giz did a post on a new iPhone custom flash drive.  It’s a cute little thang, with two eyes, a red dot mouth where the home button is and two munchkin feet.

By pulling the top rubber lid, you expose the USB for connection.  No word on the price, but you can visit the site if you really need one.

Make Your Move: USB Breast Warmers

Written by Richard Blanchard on January 24th, 2009. Posted in USB Gadgets, Useless Novelty

usb breast warmers

I found this USB powered gadget at Boingboing, and I must admit the author, Joel Johnson does such a great job with the post, I’ve got to publish the whole entry:

Ladies, a question: For years I have offered my services as a breast warmer out of what I must now admit was a desire not for the comfort of your more prominent glands, but instead an attempt to put my mittens on your kittens. But unlike my campaign to make sure your bosom is extraordinarily clean by barging into your shower with gallons of frothy soap — motivated purely by Christian hygienic charity — I was not entirely positive that your mams got, you know, chilly.

Do they?

That Thanko has created a USB-powered breast warming system has turned my world upside down. In fact, I’m getting a bit dizzy. If only there were some warm, soft place to lay my head.

USB Buffalo Speakers

Written by Richard Blanchard on January 20th, 2009. Posted in Audio, Useless Novelty

Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam.  Where the deer and the antelope play. Where seldom is heard a discouraging word And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Might be the perfect song for this USB buffalo speaker system by Gadget4all.  With freaky looking blue LED lights to illuminate the eyes and horns, you’ll be impressed with these speakers even in the dark.  Not the strangest USB powered gadget, but it’s up there.

The USB buffalo speakers include a small Li-ion battery for portable use.  Because you need to take this out on the range.  Back at the ranch you can charge her back up via USB.

You can get all this buffalo madness for only $14.

Decompress With USB Stress Ball

Written by Richard Blanchard on January 20th, 2009. Posted in Useless Novelty

These are trying times.  Everyone I talk with seems to be going through a rough time.  Whether it be work related stress, finances or personal challenges – life these days is tough.

No better time could the USB stress ball be introduced.  It’s not your typical stress ball, as those don’t have USB connectivity.  But this does.  The stress ball includes software where you can load up a picture [your boss or ex] and as you bang away at the stress ball or squeeze the day-lights out of it, the picture will reflect the stress.

The USB stress ball includes some options as well.  You’ve got a strength game and a squeeze game.

It’s amazing how technology can make it’s way into any product, even a dumb little squeeze stress ball.

Who’s up for a little bit of fun.  Who’s up for driving your co-worker totally crazy.  We are.  Here is a great USB joke device that when connected to your PC will randomly lock your CAPS button, make keystrokes or jiggle your mouse around on the screen.

Snake Coffin USB Flash Drive

Written by Richard Blanchard on November 21st, 2008. Posted in Flash Storage, Hand Crafted USB, Useless Novelty

We stumbled upon this Snake Coffin USB drive when writing about the Han Solo Carbonite USB stick, neither of which make a great USB promotional drive, but definitely a unique looking device.

For the select few who would enjoy this wondrous USB Snake Drive, you can grab a 2GB version for only $25 bucks.  The custom snake casket is a limited edition drive and only available while supplies last.
