Let’s face it, we all need shelves to store one sort of junk or another. I have shelves all over the place, mostly to hold all the Dr. Pepper cans I don’t want to get up and throw away.

I took my 8-year-old son to see Iron Man 2 last Friday, and he was all excited about it after seeing the action on the previews. We had only been watching the film for about half an hour before he asked me when it would be over and was ready to leave.

If you’re in the mood for some tasty treats, you’ll probably need to eat more than these USB flash drives, masquerading as tiny little portions of food. These Mini Plus flash drives are available in a variety of styles, ranging from a relatively nutritious portion of sushi to a plate with one jelly, one glazed, and one chocolate-frosted with sprinkles.

I was thinking to myself just the other day that the only way my flash drive could possibly be better was if it looked like the polar bear from Lost. Even better would be if I had to rip the bear in half to plug it into the USB port on my computer.

This is definitely the biggest SD card I’ve ever seen. But despite its ridiculous size, it can only store 60 photos. This giant-size SD card is actually a photo album for holding on to your 4″x6″ photo prints.

Upgrading the hard drive in your Xbox 360 or PS3 can get pricey. The upcoming Datel Space Dock lets you expand your storage by as much as 1TB using an off-the-shelf hard drive. There are two versions coming out, one for PS3 and the other for Xbox 360.

Belkin’s Home Base marries two of the most useful technologies ever invented – wireless networking and USB  – and gives users a simple and convenient way of sharing up to 4 USB-enabled devices in a central location.

Need some additional storage for your computer? Then you might want to check out these wacky hard drives, fashioned out of old VHS tapes. Sure, VHS tape tech is definitely obsolete, but aren’t hard drives on their way out too?

If you want to keep your kids, girlfriend, wife or other significant other out of your porn downloads, this is most definitely NOT the way to do it. This Over 18 USB drive from Japan’s Solid Alliance doesn’t do anything special, other than tell you that whatever is stored on the device is supposed to be for those over 18.

Have you gone nutty yet over all of the USB crapgadgets that are coming out of Japan? I haven’t! Well, here are two more USB sticks that might tickle your fancy. Personally, I have one very plain 16GB USB flash drive that I use and a bunch of older sticks that I don’t use anymore.

Here’s another kooky – yet violent – USB flash drive from China. This time, we’ve got memory that looks just like a bullet. Now the guys over at ChinaGrabber say the drive is based on the the design of machine gun ammunition, but I think they look more like the bullets from an assault rifle.

While integrating a computer into a desk isn’t exactly an original idea, Will Urbina’s “The Desk” casemod is (literally) flashy and makes no effort whatsoever to hide the fact that the desk itself is the computer.

In this case, the memory is embedded inside the sofa, but isn’t that the case with almost all of the other wacky flash drives on the market? I don’t know about you but I’d rather have my flash drive inside a sofa instead of a plastic UFO or Statue of Liberty or burger or credit card or T-Rex or bento box or kunai.

America – land of the free, home of the brave, and a place where memories are made – and stored in digital files with names like DSCN00043.JPG. Whether you think this Statue of Liberty USB flash drive is a tacky souvenir or not, it definitely is one of the more unusual USB drives I’ve seen in a while.

Twitter lets people share even the littlest, most unremarkable things in their lives. This winter Vicon will release the Vicon Revue, a camera that promises to make “lifelogging” – making a photographic archive of your day – popular.

The aliens have landed! They’ve invaded your laptop and are reading all of your data! Or are they saving all your data and flying it off to the mothership to protect it? These fun UFO USB flash drives come to us courtesy of crafter OrigamiMe (yeah, I know this isn’t origami).
