Giving new meaning to the term 'finger drive'

A Finnish computer programmer who lost one of his fingers in a motorcycle accident has made himself a prosthetic replacement with a USB drive attached.

Mr Jalava says he is already thinking about upgrading the finger to include more storage and wireless technology.

"I'm planning to use another prosthetic as a shell for the next version, which will have removable fingertip and RFID tag," he wrote on his blog, ProtoBlogr.net.

It hit 70F inside the house today, and both dogs were panting. I felt a little warm myself, so I brought up a fan from the basement and turned on the A/C for a few minutes. Both kidz are sleeping now.

Tomorrow, I'll be using the furnace again, and the fan will likely be taken back down to the basement.

Spring in Illinois.
