Thanko, maker of all things cheezzy, released the USB gas mask, or to make it less alarming, USB dust mask. Either way it’s hard to swallow any logical reason for this device. Sure you could make the argument for a dirty work environment, but if things are so bad you need a USB mask, just get a new job.
Got to love the “medical” reference in the pic.Â

So the USB IronDrive has been circulating for a couple days. Designed for military application and sourced via Lockheed Martin the drive is truly indestructible. But where do you think the USB port is? Does the handle unscrew and leave you access to the port or does the tip come undone. Not clear, but I’m sure it’s in there somewhere.
Put a little flash drive love into your Valentine’s Day with the Mimoco One Love UFD. Great concept idea but it seems the color is a little off. Wouldn’t you think to use pinks, reds and purples. None-the-less, Mimoco brings us yet another unique flash design.
Sizes available in 512MB – 4GB sizes. Limited edition of 2,000.

Late last night I stumbled upon the BMW MP3 watch. It amazed me the product was still available on BMW’s website. This product was at the top-of-it’s game maybe 3 years ago when flash memory was expensive and 256MB of space seemed like a lot. Since then, MP3 watches have become a pure novelty item.
Just to make sure I wasn’t off base, I contacted my buddy Darren, who is also a proud BMW owner, and asked for his thoughts:
“If I was trying to impress a girl, I’m not sure if she’d be impressed or turned off by headphones connected to my watch.”
Aztech has a Fun Series MP3 player which is nothing short of pure novelty. So common these days are MP3 players with a couple simply buttons for play, rewind, forward – it’s become our modern day widget.
Definitely not your Sansa or iPod so I will file this under USB novelty as at least that’s the connection requirement for uploading to the 512MB of memory. If you’ve been called square before, then you might be interested, here’s the Fun Series MP3 link.

So, on a Mac and itching to fire off some USB? Then get your game on here.
