DIY 1 : customise usb key casing
time:
approx, 2hrs (includes figuring out how you want to adapt/fit different components,
what materials you have on hand. Not allowed to run out and buy different silicon gadgets, must use whats on hand. Taking pictures and putting it on a blog)
Found these cute little silicon camera casings for usb keys, and bought one. Got home.
I googled how to put new casing on a usb key - and found the above, "evilmadscientist" how to -
then I took out the new Nikon silicon casing - the lens is too short!
So for now, I deviced a temporary transparent see through long zoom lens. :)
