OK, now this whole USB gadget thing is really getting silly. They’re now producing Japanese bamboo fans that double as USB memory sticks. And this time, “they” aren’t even offered by CrunchGear favorite Thanko, but exclusively and for a non-Japanese audience (if I understood correctly) by Geek Stuff 4 U.

The fan is hand-made, which should be the major reason it goes for $294.25 plus shipping. It stores 16GB, but my guess is they won’t even sell one.

I love it! The perfect accessory for this flashnomad! I’m adding it to my wishlist. And, inviting anyone interested to send me a list of “the essential tools” for a digital traveler. I’ll be writing an article on my blog http://www.flashnomad.com and want to know what the new minimal baggage high-tech traveller carries along on world-jaunts.
