So I've had this idea brewing in the back of my mind since last year. I want to make the ultimate keychain. I usually keep my keys in my pocket, but especcially now that I ride my bike and use my pockets more and even use my keys more (kumm and library card) I want to get back to the planning of this thing.
Essentials:
KUMM key
House Key (morris)
House key (st. paul)
Car Key
Library card thing
That sums up what I "need". But this ain't no bare essentials keychain.
Additives:
4 or 8 GB flash drive
2 or 4 GB flash with bootable linux
bottle opener
carabiner for attaching to belt loops
Mp3 player (small)
i know what your thinking. how fucking sweet is that. but in all seriousness, i don't need a mp3 player, and might be able to consolidate the two flash drives into one 8gB that can be bootable or just storage, I mean it's 8 goddamn gigabytes, it should be able to do that.
Starting process is to get a carabiner, since I lack one. then I can start using it on my belt loops and look super trendy. I hate when practical things become trendy and hip so I feel like a dick when I do it out of convenience. I'm a motive anti conformist.
Anyways, I looked at salvation army and they didn't have any I could find, but I'm going there again tomorrow to get shirts for 1.50 and to try and find shelving for kumm. So I'll look again. Quick side note about the shirts: they're usually $3 but on weds its half off things above $1 so they're #1.5. I'm going to get a few and test stencils on them, I want to try out multiple stencils to make one cool design. And add the gangster penguin and hello blacksmith logo as well,just cause they're so awesome. But I've had some ideas for simple stencils.
choo! choo! Back on track.
If anyone reading this has any more amazing ideas for a key chain, let me know. I'm trying to keep it compact and practical, whilst being an outstanding achievement of human engineering, so work with that in mind.

I like the bootable Linux idea. Maybe a pedometer? You've been trying to do something like that for a while. Try to get good quality carabiners - the shitty ones are easy to find but die quickly if put under stress. Flashlight? Swiss Army Knife?
ReplyDeleteI totally check this way to often.
ReplyDeleteDude, start a blog. it's simple and easy and when your bored you can write what ever is on your mind, noone cares if i makes sense or is just ranting or just what you did that day. I started with basic recaps of my day and then I started saying what I thought of things. That's actually basically what I still do, just less about my day. And yeah a good carabiner is key, which is why I can't find a good one for cheap.
ReplyDeleteclimbing stores sell quality carabiners for about $6.00. Or, if you need, you can go up to $12.00-$15.00 and get a locking one.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious as to how this'll come into fruition, because one of the biggest issues I have with keychains is there are too many things dangling from them, and they just get cluttered.
Another option might be to try and find an mp3 player that is a usb stick, and partition it, so you could integrate bootable Linux and mp3 player (or, if you can find a big enough stick, all three).
