Computer Safari

When I work in my home office, my mind often drifts thinking of all the places I want to see in the world. Prague, Mount Rushmore, St. Petersburg. But my dream always starts and ends in Africa on safari. So I immediately "connected" with these cute little animal USB memory drives from Japan. Now, I can have my own little elephant sitting on my desk.  

These USB pets are from Japanese company Marubeni InfoTech. Available in both walnut and maple, you can choose between a 1 GB dog, pig, elephant, hippo, or swan. Or get them all and have your very own herd. They could have chosen a better place for the USB cord but hey, they are so cute I can overlook this design flaw.  

Available at the monoDO website for 7,980 yen, which is about $73 US. (website is in Japanese, but I’ve linked to the translated version). Thanks to Geek Alerts and Paige + Modern for bringing a piece of the animal kingdom to me!
