For creating such unusual memory keys in steampunk style you would need some wood, a few old pocket watches and a lot of talent and creativity. All memory keys featured below were created by an artist from the United Kingdom under the name, back2root. The covers of these USB drives are made out of different types of wood such as Ebony, Padauk and even such exotic wood as Tiger Myrtle. The creation of each device takes up to 12 hours and the parts of up to 8 old pocket watches. The beautiful results of this labour of love can bee seen below. Enjoy!

Finally…a reason to get the new iPod Nano! The idea of turning the Nano into a watch is one thing, but actually making it look and feel right is completely another. Enter Scott Wilson, formerly the global creative director for Nike Watches. He’s the man behind TikTok and LunaTik, well-designed, engineered and manufactured watch kits that snuggly and beautifully cradle your Nano.

TikTok is the cheaper version with a plastic band and a snap-in frame inspired by the locking mechanisms in skiboots. The LunaTik is the nicer, more premium offering – it’s forged from Aerospace Grade Aluminum and then machined via CNC into its final form. “The straps are made from high grade silicone rubber and the hardware is solid stainless steel not some chrome plated brass that will wear off. The quality of these watch cases and straps will be scrutinized very carefully and produced in the same factories that produce the best watches for companies like Nixon, Diesel, Vestal, and Nike.”

The Zeal Transcend GPS Goggle features a micro LCD display mounted inside the goggles, so you can view all pertinent information without having to do anything but glimpse downwards towards the bottom of the lens — a key feature when barreling down a double black diamond, or even moreso if you’re heading off trail. In addition to showing GPS data, the screen can also feeds real-time stats like speed, altitude, vertical odometer, stopwatch, latitude/longitude, temperature, time and total distance travelled. The Zeal Transcend GPS Goggles are charged via a micro-USB charger, and are both PC and Mac compatible. Two lenses are available, either a polarized lens or a polarized and photochromic lens for $400-$500.
