Concrete USB Sticks: Because Practicality Is For Wimps

I haven’t been this impressed since steel mousepads.

For no discernible reason whatsoever, designer Shu-Chun Hsiao brings us – what else – concrete USB sticks. As a designer I give Hsiao a high five for no other reason than this rules. Concrete tech? I wish I had a laptop made out of the stuff. I question the practicality of lugging one of these things around with you, but then again, with the capacity (which is also the weight – clever as hell, right?) stamped right into the side, no one will ever call you a nerd again.

Or you’ll beat them to death with your concrete USB stick.
