One particular design motif I’m fond of is hiding in plain sight. (Cross-posted from Xhibiting )
I love the aesthetic here. It looks like just a commonplace eraser, but it packs a heckuva lot more functionality underneath, not to mention that it:
- is a simple do-it-yourself project
- protects the USB drive
- is swappable (because, seriously, the capacity on these things increases so quickly!)
- helps protect your drive from theft by hiding in plain sight

When the Kenyan president was asked to comment on his country being judged the most corrupt country in the world as judged by the ease and frequency at which bribery happened, the Kenyan president noted: “Actually, we were ranked second. We simply bribed the judges to make us first”
A joke I heard from work (am fairly sure none of it is true).
