Digital Ninjas Attack! Ninja USB Drives

The Field Guide — Tue, 10 May 2011 02:30:24 +0000

Ninjas to defend your data

Jumping over hills, hiding in plain sight, watching you through the window, it is the stealthy ninja.

If you’re a crazy ninja like me, you need to have the proper equipment to quickly take information and vanish. Let this little guy be your sidekick.

The BONE Ninja USB drive

This sneaky little guy can attach to any surface with its bendable limbs and magnet hands. “Am I a toy?” it asks with a peaked eyebrow hidden under its mask. “Do I amuse you?” Nobody will ever suspect its USB secret.

Bluetooth Watches Bring Order to the Office

The Coworker’s Ringtone

Every one of my coworkers’ ringtones is permanently etched into my brain, building on my nerves. I don’t know what kind of sick mobile-phone manufacturer decided to make “Do You Know The Muffin Man?” a stock ringtone. But individuals such as these must be dealt with harshly. One day I will hear a ‘Muffin Man’ ringtone in a crowded restaurant, and will snap like I’m having a war flashback.

Be the Ever-Curteous One

I have endeavored to keep my phone entirely silent. Not only is it set to vibrate, but I put it on a foam surface so that the vibrate is unnoticable to anyone but myself. But my endeavors in courtesy come not without their price. Every day I miss several phone calls.

Bluetooth to Your Body

That’s why I am going to get one of these. These Bluetooth Watches (don’t call it a bracelet) are designed solely to inform you that you have an incoming call, with discrete vibration and light. It is a very Batman way to handle your communications, without being overtly comic-booky.

For optimum results, pair with the excellent Treo 680.
