LaCie iamakey USB Portable Flash Drive

Here’s another entry to add to our list of innovative portable USB drives. Though not wearable like the USB wristband, the LaCie iamakey is pocketable and easy to attach and blend in with the rest of the keys you might be carrying. Even better is the fact that since you typically always carry your keys around with you, you’ll always have a USB drive on hand in case you need to transfer some files (or steal the chem exam from your professor’s computer).

I was thinking, it’s cool that you can carry a flash drive on your keys, but wouldn’t it get scratched up and potentially damage the memory stick? But those smart people over at LaCie already thought of that. Each iamakey drive uses gold SIP technology which makes it water and scratch resistant. Not bad, right?

Similar to the gun owners’ motto. This should be the mantra for all USB flash drive owners to always carry their USB drive on them.

Better to have a USB drive and not need one than to need a USB drive and not have one.

Luckily, the LaCie iamakey flash drive allows you to always be prepared when you just might need a USB drive. Also, I love the name of it, some genius marketing over there at the LaCie marketing department. Sony should maybe look into this style of marketing…maybe come out with a new Sony iamasonyplaystation4.

Live Strong, Save the Memories, but Don’t Regret

It happens to the best of us, but not no matter how hard we try regret is always knocking at our door. Sometimes we let it in, sometimes it barges in without a search warrant.

On a rainy day… I should have checked the weather!
On a sunny hot day… I should have worn shorts!
The morning of a hangover… I should have drank less!
Staring at your plump fat body in the mirror… I should have exercised more!
Finding out you now have Herpes… I should have worn a condom!

Looking at the past it’s easy to see where we messed up and what we should have done, but by then it’s too late. Sometimes you just have to live with herpes. Other times we learn from these experiences and consciously avoid such occurrences from happening again. But there are some experiences too painful and too costly to have to go through. The one regret we never want to hear is…

I should have brought my USB drive!

Yes we said it. How often have you been scrambling around for a USB drive while out and about only never to find one? Sure you have one in your computer bag or next to your desktop, but when you leave the sanctuary of your home or office there are times when a USB drive could have enhanced your life.

Think back…

Your buddy, John, “Dude, I just found a video on Cindy’s computer of her and Sharon having lesbian sex! Hurry let’s download it before they come back… give me a USB drive.”
In Dr. Jones office hours with your friend Frank while the professor went to the bathroom, “Dude, I just found a copy of the economics exam! Give me a USB drive…”
At the Bunny Ranch in Las Vegas, “Free night with one of our girls to the first guy who shows us a USB drive…”

The examples are endless and the pain never ending. If only there was a USB drive that you could carry around and instead of people looking at you like a tool or ultra nerd people would look up to you and respect your courage and charity…a USB drive that could Live Strong…if only…

FuncFash-ness: 7/10

Functional: 4/5 (store photos, songs, sex videos on your wrist)
Fashionable: 3/5 (little bump where the memory is stored sticks out and not so pretty)
