RIP Sony Pen Drive

Here are the remains of my Sony 512MB Pen Drive. It lasted me just over 2 years when it finally shit the bed on me last week.

The broken pieces are as of a result of the device being dropped, kicked, thrown, washed, stomped, eaten, and passed. The scotch tape you see is my attempt to make the device appear whole while trying to maintain Sony's sleek styling.

I remember back to last June and the moments prior to delivering the presentation of my thesis--dropping the Pen Drive and watching the plastic shell enclosure shatter below me on the tile floor. I remember my colleagues gasping and me beginning to sweat, cursing under my breath. Fortunately, the Pen Drive survived the crash and I was able to give my presentation putting my comrades in a deep deep coma.

I'm not sure how the Pen Drive died. I'd like to think it went piece-fully.
