Great idea Carson. (assuming because of "Carson's I-Mac" icon in your picture.
I only have a 16 GB Flash drive though, and I use it at school, so I can't really use this design there or they'd think it was a bomb.

hi,

I would like to link to your instructable toilet paper tube flash drive in an upcoming post on my website ecopractical.blogspot.com

I'm collecting a series of toilet paper tube projects, and yours just made me laugh! Do you actually use your drive? Anyways, would that be alright with you? How would you like to be credited?
