USB me

Been thinking about Mat and Tec project... what should i hack? I've come up with a few possibilities.

1] a dead mobile phone [but to make a new keypad would be really hard]

2] a hard drive [but heat is an issue]

3] a USB drive

I ALWAYS loose my USB... and then consequently cry because i lost all my work and while USB jewellery is a good idea, i feel that it has been done pretty badly take this for example....


and that is a pretty good one there are some atrocious ones out there.

The problem is tho it's decorated like jewellery we still know that it is just a blinged up USB drive, and while that might float some peoples boat... it doesn't really float mine.

Swarovski did an awesome collection of Tech savvy jewellery in conjunction with Phillips a while back..
Where i think that this is so much more successful than the "geek Chic" that the other USB/ jewellery tries to achieve is that when in jewellery form its unrecognisable, and the form has meaning.


Anyways just things to think about.


Just have to add this last picture because it is just so cool.
