Designer Gerard Moline has come up with a USB flash drive concept called the USB Lab. It is shape like a cross.

This double functionality of an object symbolizes the adaptation to the social and cultural changes in the Information Age.

Another good point, since it is a holy item, thou shall not keep any evil data inside. Amen.

Instructables is showing us how to make an Eraser USB drive. If you have a broken case USB drive or those with fugly case, you can turn them to an Eraser USB drive. Just look for a big eraser, cut them to half and dig some hold for the USB drive and the other side for the cap.

Hmmm, remember, I got a 2GB Kingston DataTraveler, it is now naked because last month it has enjoyed the spa in the washing machine, I need to dry it up, it case is damn tough so I cracked with some hammer and pliers, and somehow it is still working and my files were still there. Maybe I can try to make it into the Eraser USB drive.

I received a parcel last week, and it’s a 2GB Datatraveler inside, a gift from my friend. Wow, it looks the same with my previous 1GB USB drive from Raytech (the one above without the print). Now I got two USB drives but I’m still using the 1GB as the swivel got loosen which is easier to spin. The Raytech 1GB is slightly longer and it’s silver in color while the Kingston Data Traveler has a mirrored surface.
