Cork Drive!
The title is pretty self explaining, its a cork with a jump drive in it.
I accidentally sent my 4gb jump drive through the wash a few days ago, and even though the innards are still functional, the case was destroyed. Soooo... I decided to take advantage of the massive amount of corks generated from my families drinking habits.
Supplies
For this project you will need;
Materials:
--------------------------
One Wine Cork
One Jump drive (has to be the right size to fit in the cork)
some electrical tape
Tools:
---------------------------
A drill
A big drill bit, maybe 1/2-3/4 of an inch.
Optional pocket knife (A Swiss army knife if you are awesome like MacGyver)

Drilling/cutting/getting Injured
Before you do this step, I am not responsible for lost fingers, arms, legs, heads, or any other appendage you decide to chop off.
Continuing on...
You take your drill and cut out a hole large enough to fit the drive in. I was at a lacking for a drill bit of adequate size, so I made a rather ugly hack into it with a pocket knife.
If you haven't already, remove the case on your drive, leaving the chip exposed.
If you like, wrap a small bit of electrical tape around the top of the chip for protection.

Tuh-duh!
Slide the drive into the hole. It may be a snug fit, so be careful not to break the chip.
Tuh-Duh!
