Leather USB Bracelet: Take Your Special Memories With You
The trend over the past few years has definitely been to carry our data with us in the form of wearable USB devices.

I don't claim to be much of a wine drinker, but I do appreciate the taste every now and then.

I know from experience that SD and flash cards can be quite a handful to carry around, and it's easy to lose them if you're not careful. Some people have fancy boxes and storage containers to house their cards, but for me, that's not exactly a necessity since I store most of my mobile data on my sm ...
