The lego flash drive

If you've got some spare Lego bricks, a rather tiny USB flash drive (might we recommend a Lexar USB FlashCard?), a bit o' spare time, and no discernible fears for the safety and well being of your digits and extremities when applying tools to rather small, hard plastics, then we'd like to point you to Stickman's Lego flash drive how-to. Novelty, yes; but why is that a bad thing?

If someone figured out a way to make it so that the more bricks you snapped on, the larger the capacity got...imagine snapping together a 20 gig flash drive.

There called Bugworks computers

Thats great! I might have to go pick up a brick or too to do that to one of my sticks! :D

I dream of having that much free time! Not that I'd use it that way :)

I am totaly going to do that now. I have a flash drive that got smashed when my laptop fell off my lap (cord got snagged while I was turning :( ) the circuitry is fine, the plug was a little bent, but the plastic casing cracked along the original joining point between the two.

Also, I was really into legos so I have a butt load just sitting around, this looks like a really fun mod.

nice one!

Talk about hiding in plain sight. See, you could store all of your most important and critical files (read: pr0n) in that model of Darth Vader's head you have on the bookshelf, and no one would be the wiser...

Finally, a flash drive that has a place to stick the cap!

LEGO (my ego) should just have some assholecompany make these FOR them.

What would be SICKER is, if you lock two or more together, the thing combines the memory! WOOOO.

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2006 2:23PM]

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2006 3:13PM]

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2006 4:04PM]

#4 - "Also, I was really into legos so I have a butt load just sitting around, this looks like a really fun mod."

this is more of a hard/hack than a mod, no?
i definitely wouldnt feel right calling that a mod, tho

Dude this is so awesome... I love LEGOs! Now if only they can shove a USB stick up a LEGO guys *bleep* and use that as a flash drive, that would be cool.

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2006 8:37PM]

I'd be scared if i had kids. They'd rack this lego piece and put it in the millions and millions piece collection...

[(Unverified) Posted May 27th 2006 10:02PM]

Man, I really wanted one of those Lexar USB FlashCards, but apparently since that announcement they've released no new information and have never released the technology.

Is engadget trying to draw them out maybe?
