Torn USB thumb drive (Life Hacks return!)

plop.JPG

Making its return to Slackerstyle.com comes the very rare yet very popular life hack! In our re-debut I present probably one of the coolest hacks I’ve had a chance to present. Everyone has those cool little USB thumb drives, some made from a lego, some made from a piece of wood, even one made out of an altoid box. All of those are very cool little mods but this one takes the cake.

The people over at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories came up with a torn USB cable that is really a fully functioning USB memory stick. They are nice enough to provide step by step instructions so you can create your very own. It takes some skill, some patience, and some money but I promise when you are on campus or at work people will really be like “what the fuck!” when they see you bust out a torn/cut up USB cable to save your files to.

Have some fun and click here to head over to the life hack page. If you make one and you are a reader here, please send pics!

Build your own block head Stormtrooper

Stumbled across this cool little cut & fold project. You print out these instructions then cut and fold your way to your own block head stormtrooper. Sucks it’s not Vader but whatever, not that bad.

I took some time today and made this thing and it came out great, really fun. Thanks to cubecraft for coming up with cool shit like this. Go ahead and click the stormtrooper and grab up the instructions.
