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 iPhonecustom 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.

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.
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.

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.
What is particularly nice about this useless USB gadget is the ability to select one, two or all three options and control the speed in which the phantom activities take place. It’s also a complete and finished product…much better then our USB hack we mentioned for creating a

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.

Brando is based in Hong Kong and isn’t familiary with all the traditions within the US, like Halloween. Just 2 weeks after our holiday, Brando introduces a skeleton USB stick. Maybe Brando was going after the gothic customer base rather than capitalize on the holiday buying trend.
Either way, here is the latest skeleton USB stick from Brando. The drive itself has a lever in the back to slide the USB connector in and out. This keeps the classic goth look to the device, while at the same time adding some protection to the USB connector.
Limited in range size, they offer only a 4GB version. That will set you back $32 USD.
Here is the sales pitch from Brando:
Fashionable USB Skeleton Necklace Flash Drive with decorative crystals and skeleton shape. Necklace is included to wear around your neck, surely will give you a stylish look.
I don’t know what these guys are thinking but here’s an ugly bold box called a PC. From the front it looks like a toaster for only one slice of bread. From the side it’s got a handle for only god knows why.
With all the fancy gold on the outside, I’m curious what the back looks like. Probably your standard PC output panel.
In case you are wondering, we have no idea how much this gold gem costs but we do know it’s got a Dual Core 2.0 processor, eight USB ports, 100GB HDD and 4GB of RAM.
As Music Radar stats:Â “I bet it still crashes!”

No pun intended, but this laptop fan is cool looking with a great design. The Dog shapped USB cooling fan is an ideal adition to those working from laptops. With two 6″ built-in cooling fans, it can dissipate heat away from the bottom of your laptop and cool down the the under belly of your laptop.
The USB cooling fan for your laptop comes in either a Dog or Penguin shape and acrylic top. It’s almost a shame you cover up the design with your laptop.
Here is a side view of the laptop cooling pad:

Ahh, Budweiser. I could use a nice cold one right now, but I don’t think this USB beer drive is the answer. First off, it’s not cold – which is how I like it.
Clearly a promotional USB drive for a trade show give-away, this Budweiser stick is the first I’ve ever seen with liquid inside the plastic case. Then again, taking just 5 seconds to think about this and review the picture, there is no way liquid is inside. Rather that’s some nice looking brown plastic and fake white bubbles for an ever-so-real look. How could this thing still have carbonation?
If you’re a fool and think this USB drive is drinkable – then you really do need a drink.
