Pez USB Drive
Dec. 27th, 2007 03:36 pmLast night as I was removing laundry from the dryer, I noticed I had left my USB flash drive in a pocket and it had been through the wash and the dryer. This has happened a couple of times before and both previous times it had come out fine. This time, while still fully functional, it had shed its plastic casing. Yeah, I could have put it back in its original casing and glued it together, but I'm very much an opportunist and decided to retrofit it into something completely different (or so I though): a Pez dispenser. A little exacto knife work and a little super glue now means I get to plug Gonzo into my computer and access my files. Weeeeeeeee! Later out of curiosity I Googled the concept and found others have done this and, in some cases, made them not only fully functional USB drives but also (with limited storage capacity) fully functional Pez dispensers, too. Mine sadly no longer dispenses candy, but it looks funky. Anyway, a couple photos and then back to work:
