Love It or Leave It? Ballpoint Pen With USB Drive

GeekSugar — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 16:00:11 -0700

Pens are prime targets when it comes to built-in devices like spycams or flashlights. Now Digix from Korea is incorporating USB functionality into the standard ballpoint pen. Showcased on Geek Alerts, these pens come with a 1GB USB memory drive for all your on-the-go storage needs. Use as an actual pen or pop off the top cap to use the USB plug. Available in black, blue, red, and silver. Prices not released yet. I like the concept but the pens aren't exactly what I'd classify as glamorous. If they had a sleeker body I'd be all for them. What are your thoughts?

Send Snail Mail Effortlessly With SnailMailr

I love the idea of sitting down and writing a long letter with a fancy ballpoint pen, putting it in an envelope, and sending it off to its recipient. But the reality is, I type a heck of a lot faster than I can write (and by write, I mean making it lovely and legible), so I prefer to email because it's faster, easier, and I don't have to deal with white-out when I make mistakes.

If you want to write and mail off a note to someone, but you enjoy the simplicity of typing on a computer and clicking send without having to get out the stamps and envelopes, a website called SnailMailr makes it easy to send snail mail online.

This neat site, which I came across on makeuseof, provides all of the fields for you to fill in (like address, letter section, etc.) and it will print and send your letter to any US address for $1. More than four pages? You'll only need to pay an additional $0.10 per page.
