I saw this new USB Drive design down at Office Max today.  Admittedly I looked closely because I thought it was a toy wrongly placed in the gadget aisle.  As I came close I realized it was a 2GB USB drive designed as a skateboard.  I think my nephew, Jonathan, would like this as a birthday gift next week. He love’s skateboarding, now that the snow has melted and the sidewalk generally has turned dry.

The Santa Cruz skateboard company teamed up with the nerds at Action Sport Drives and used actual graphics from Santa Cruz skateboards.

You can order online at Tiger Direct for about US$22.
