Cool stuff you can plug into your USB port!

Our USB ports are normally taken up by mundane stuff like mouses, external HDDs, etc. But if you have a port or two empty, why waste their usefulness?

USB Drum Kit (CoolUSBToys.com)

Sticks flailing, sweat beading upon your brow as you hammer out the best you got, and your co-workers staring in envy (Or maybe your drumming skills are retarded, I don't know.). This drum kit plays the sound from the drum through your computer sound-card and speakers.

USB Soumen River (EverythingUSB.com)

In Japan, there is this thing they do, where they get an ultra-long, hollowed-out bamboo. It's sliced into half, so it becomes a long conduit which they send soumen flowing along merrily. The children then seat along the bamboo and catch the noodles as they go past. Now, recreated as a small infinite river through which soumen will circle endlessly, finding no relief till they get slurped up into a hungry mouth... Damn, now I'm getting hungry.

Instructions from the site:

Simply add cold or iced water to the oval-shaped plastic bowl, connect this strainer to a USB port, and the machine will create a water flow. Next, place the pre-cooked noodles into the water channel, and they will be carried along with the circulation of the water.

After a few minutes of cooling process, use a pair of chopsticks, and try to catch the strained noodles as they pass by. Finally, choose the toppings and seasonings (eg. sauce, leeks, sesame, horseradish) of your choice from the center island to spice up the noodles. And your USB cold soumen noodles are ready.

USB Pet Rock (ThinkGeek.com)


Yes, it is just a rock with a USB cable. Nope, it does absolutely nothing. But still, it will be funny looking at the expressions on your co-workers' faces as they puzzle over the fact that a rock is plugged into your computer. They will think that you have a screw loose; indeed, it will be true if you really shell out money to buy a USB rock. But still!
