Squid ties and USB drives

19 November 2008 5 views 4 Comments

Firefly Squid USB driveAnother deep sea creature-related post that vaguely sings of bioluminescence. Just about, anyway. Behold! No longer is your USB key bound to those boring plastic cases! Accessorise your keys with a bit of squid. And not just any squid - a Firefly Squid, at that. I wonder if it glows blue when you plug in its tentacles?

Why yes, yes it does! It also comes in authentic Japanese seafood packaging, complete with expiry date! You can hook yours from a company called Solidalliance, but I bet they won’t ship outside of Japan… *Update* They sell 2GB versions online here that ship abroad: Audiocube

What more could you want? How about a plotting cuttlefish tie to spruce up your work life and make you the centre of attention?

But what would this tie say about you, really? Squids on the brain? I’m thinking sushi dinner? Or perhaps something more sinister… I mean, just look at those cold, piercing eyes… Cyberoptix are the company you want, should you be drooling for one. I recommend aquatic blue… Pity there are no jellyfish versions, or I would have bought the stock!

    Haha. Nice find! Though some of the ties on there look a little photoshopped…. Maybe it’s just me?

    I want this USB. Its really creative. I love this kind of product with 遊び心. The problem is its capacity that is only 512MB though. haha

    Hey Hiroyasu! It’s great isn’t it? ^^ I just found out that you can buy it abroad online. And it comes in 2GB versions too! 70$… So maybe you should take advantage of the great Yen and buy one? :P
