Memory

I’ve been sort of reticent to accept USB storage AKA jump drives AKA flashcards. I just can’t get over the stack of ZIP disks I have in a drawer at home, along with the two totally useless drives. Of course what’s entombed on them is my student work from portfolio school, which I don’t anticipate needing anytime soon. I guess it’s just the idea of it. There’s always something new waiting in the wings, like the iPhone 5 mentality. Those thoughts aside, here are a few I wouldn’t mind toting around for a bit…


The Disposable: Flashkus

 


The Ninja: LaCie Galet

 


The Adorable: ZOO

The A-1 Scrabble Designer Edition

Every designer out there just let out a collective Damn! after seeing Andrew Clifford Capener’s The A-1 Scrabble designer edition.

“The idea was to excite people about typograqphy by giving them the ability to choose what font their scrabble set would come in. The set would come in the font of your choice or with an assorted font pack. The scrabble board and interior box are made out of solid walnut, and the exterior box is made from birch. Each of the 6 board pieces is magnetized to fit together perfectly and each piece slides nicely into its respective slot in the box and is secured by interior magnets as well. The interior of the exterior box as well as the bottoms of the 6 board pieces are lined with cork, to protect them while in use.”

Check out the rest of The Value of a Dollar Project here.
