The guys over at AdvancedUSB can make customized USB people in a wide variety of colors, facial expressions, storage sizes, and even with custom graphics on their tiny USB clothing. Me, I want a mini-me with a Technabob mascot on it. Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure you can’t order single drives, but if you want to build an entire USB army of yourself, you certainly could.

To inquire about your own custom USB people hit up AdvancedUSB’s sales department.

Human Tetris was recorded during the Urbaines Festival at the Palais de Rumine in Lausanne, Switzerland. The video shoot took 88 people wearing bright Tetris colored T-shirts, and 880 carefully choreographed still images in order to complete the effect. Add one goofy human-generated audio track, and there you have it.

Too bad I just ran out of quarters.
