So, quite as usual, I was wandering around aimlessly at Target. I ended up in the Computer toys, and saw the coolest thing EVER!

A USB wristband. This thing is spiffy! 256 (that's the only size they come in.. grrr), but it's a USB drive on a wristband. Kinda like the livestrong bracelets. It's not bound to win any beauty pagents as the usb drive end is rather large. But my biggest problem with USB drives is that I set them on my desk, and they're gone. This is blue, and chunky and not that loseable.

Here's pictures of mine. It also comes in black. Isn't my hand pretty?? ;)

I got mine for about $20 at CDW.

Nice,

I've never had the use for a USB device like that yet. Not to say that I won't in the future, but a guy with a wristband like that.....hmmmm.....me thinks that might come across a lil feminine. :D

I so want one of these....just to freak out my girlfriend. I swear she has a teddy bear that looks like the one in the picture.

I'd drool if I had anything I could do with a giger.

You can always take the teddy bear as an example, and mod it. :)

Amazon has a Tachikoma plushie (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GEALUY/qid=1153595405/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-0497275-6847118?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance). Someone on one of my anime groups suggested removing one of the external white pieces and embedding a USB drive in it with a retractable cable.
