Pretty cool, but seems to be only USB 1.1. :-)

More seriously, I think I'm finished with the geek watch fantasy.  The
one feature I really and truly wanted on a watch was a count-down
timer, and you can only get that on certain Timex and Casio models.  I
used to be a loyal Timex client until the last two watches I had from
them turned into twisted wreakage in under 2 years.  The only Casio
with a count-down timer and a decent (stainless steel) bracelet seems
to be (well) over $100 and not stocked by anybody in town.  (Why not? 
Well, my guess is that it's becauuse Wal*mart sells a lot of Casio,
but not this Casio, and nobody else much is willing to carry the line
because Wal*Mart does...)

So now I'm thinking the extra-shimmery Fossil Blue, or maybe the one
with the big blinken digits.  Then, as an outlet for my geekiness,
I'll get a laser pointer USB drive keychain thingie.
