For most, the middle of November is when you start thinking about Christmas and the holiday season. With that in mind, if you have an office gift exchange, this USB vacuum could make your short list, if you draw the office IT person as your secret Santa.
What tipped my memory about seeing this USB vacuum several years ago, is a commercial during Sunday night football. Yup, someone actually worked this USB gadget into a prime time commercial. First image is from the commercial, second image is the link to get the USB vacuum from Amazon (or equivalent).
Before you get your hopes up the USB vacuum actually works, it doesn’t. The thing will make a vacuum noise, but doesn’t suck anything up.
What do you call a bee born in the United States?
A USB.
When the person who invented the USB drive dies:
They will lower the coffin into the grave and realize it’s the wrong direction. Flip it, and try again.
Why do people complain about plugging in USB cables?
I always connect them on my second try.
Amazon offers a USB-powered taillight:
It’s used to backup your computer.
Arguing with your wife is like a USB port:
You will only be right 50% of the time.
I ate my USB flash drive:
It only took 1 byte.
If you are carrying around a USB stick:
Do you have mobile data?
What do you call a USB stick in Russia?
A “Put-in”
The USB Type C design is brilliant:
I can’t see a downside to it.
How do you stop an elephant from charging?
Take away its USB cable.
I love how the description for a “cigarette”
lighter watch includes the words “environmentally friendly.” So the ligher doesn’t use gas, I get it, but
isn’t smoking the cigarette worse?
Anyway, if you smoke and like to keep time, this product
is for you.
The watch tells time, but the three smaller dials are for
esthetics only.
There is a $40 dollar version that is digital. The watch type options are listed on the
product page.
Here are 60 incredible USB flash drive designs. Each one of these designs is real and was made for a company or client. The custom USB shapes are not listed in any specific order.
You know a product is a great idea when a couple of pictures describe the entire product.
With that in mind, we’ve all seen wall outlet USB charges, but the Snap Power, in my opinion, will rule them all.
The design is clever. Installation is ultra-easy. Accessibility supersedes all others.
Take a second and just look at it:
In my mind there are three things which make this a brilliant wall charger. If you don’t mind me walking you through the obvious, here we go.

The design is brilliant. The User keeps both outlets available for normal use while a sleek looking USB port is added underneath. At the time of this article there is one USB socket, but visiting their website you can see two sockets, one on either side. They are constantly improving.

Yes, there are million flash drives in the market. This one is a bit clever don’t you think? Buy the 4GB drive off Urban Outfitters. Create your own multimedia message with audio, video or text and save it to this flash drive. Throw it into the ocean and see what happens.
Promotional items have been around for years. Coffee mugs, pens, etc are still the default item for marketing manager without an imagination. Back in 2000 the flash drive was the new kid on the block for swag. Flash forward five years and the USB stick was a bit like the coffee mug, old and boring. At about this same time manufacturing processes started improving for using silicon as a moldable material. This is where the custom flash drive started gaining popularity. As time move along, the process and technology got even better. Today we are seeing some fantastic promotional items in the shape of logo’s, parts, products and even airplanes.
Today we list five realistic looking USB airplane designs that would get any marketing manager excited about a promotional flash drive.

Gizmodo posted about a USB necklace in early February and all the comments ripped them a new one for the non-tech product. I kinda agree, but the funny thing, the “Upload” necklace is sold out. And sold out with a price tag of $48.
I think we should push the jeweler (if we can call her that) to make some more.

Several years ago the concept of a 2GB luggage tag would be out of the questions. A 2GB drive was about $15 and for that reason, most everyone would consider it too expensive.
Today however, with a 2GB flash drive less than $5.00 it makes plenty of sense to use a flash drive to store your contact information via USB. Sure, you still write your name, address and phone number on the label above, but you can now include additional information. Travel itinerary, medical information and 2nd contact information.
Now, if you want the luggage tag looking USB with label area, it will cost you the full price of $30, but I’d rather take an old USB or a new $5.00 and create my own. Wouldn’t be that hard with some creative material like duct tape.
We are really trying to avoid blog posts about USB flash drives as they are everywhere, ambiguous, dime-a-dozen, you name it; however, today we received three emails about new styles and just couldn’t help ourselves.
All along the same genre if you will, of shady, up to no good, stereo types. First we have the USB lock. Lets get your mindset into that of a burglar. Next, a USB gun. Sure if you can’t crack the lock, just point your gun at someone. Last, the USB lighter. Burn the place down after you’ve stolen everything.
