“Tragically I hadn't backed up in about 2 weeks. Something I usually do almost every day... It's why I keep a little jar of pen drives with it!!! And why I have spindles and spindles, cases and cases of back up disks from once a month for the last 7 years and boxes and boxes of 3.5" floppies from before that!Central Pen Drive Guide

5. My ***NEW*** 4 gig Princess Leia Mimobot is still currently empty because I love it so much I just sit and stare at it for hours. [review coming soon! ... now that I have to re-write it!]
BUT my computer had not been working right all week so I didn't get to back it up.”
So as promised I want to tell you about my exciting Mimobot flash drive!
A few months back I saw someone on Twitter, tweeting to @mimbot. They were saying something really weird that grabbed my attention and so I had to figure out what this was all about. I clicked on to @mimobot's profile and was interested to read that they were having a Word of the Day competition. Everyday they were posting a WOTD and all you had to do was reply to them with a sentence using the WOTD to be entered to win one of their very cool flash drives. From the moment I saw them I was in love!

Mimobots are collectable designer USB flash drives. Launched in 2005 by Mimoco, Inc. They are original designs by artists and preloaded with all kinds of neat “Mimory” that includes music, video, animations, and games. Many of the Mimobots are produced in limited quantities between 500 to 5,000 units. They offer 1 to 8 gigs of storage and look cute while doing it! They even have a great story about how the Mimobots came to this planet: the story from the mimobots of planet blõôh.

I love Smiling Malfi by FriendsWithYou
I like the Mr. TTT Rainbow! He's so cute and colorful.
I checked in Oregon, and there is nowhere close for me to buy them.
I would like to see Totoro as a mimobot!
I blogged: http://connected2christ.com/theblog/2009/02/19/to-talk-about-thursdayto-talk-about-thursday
I like the Pink Meletta. SO darling and cute and pink!!!
I live in NC but the closet store location is in Atlanta at the W Hotel
I would love to see a Keith Harding or Romero Britto mimobot.
The Pink Meletta by Tokidoki is my fave. It's girly, punky, and has that great Japanese style. Plus the pink/black color combo is always a hit with me!
quitecontrary1977@hotmail.com
I really like them all but Gigglebyte is the one I like best of all.
There is one location is Michigan that sells Mimobot's. That's in Ann Arbor, MI
My son,Chung is a great artist, unknown but great. I would like to see what he could design. I bet they would be a great seller!
My favorite one is the owlsy owlbert. I am a sucker for anything with owls on it!
The closest one to me is the Urban Outfitters in Faneuil Hall in Boston, MA. There's none in NH!!
I think a great artist would be Ed Hardy. Some of his designs are so cool.
I'd get C3P0 for my hubby
addeviant006 at gmail dot com
they sell them at Kawaii Gifts in Pittsburgh
addeviant006 at gmail dot com
I think they should have Paul Frank designs. The money would be so cool!
thanks
addeviant006 at gmail dot com
I would get the wicket. It's awesome!
bf2phoenix[at]gmail[dot]com
I love Pupstar he is soooo cute
I think Chic Chat in Ft Lauderdale is closest to me. All of the stores are on the other side of the state.
I am a Disney fanatic and a NASCAR fanatic so any of those would be good
I tweeted.

My favorite is Zombie Tiki God by heyimlindsayp..who wouldn't want a Zombie Tiki God protecting their most important data? Besides it's so colorful, I'd want to keep it out on my desk and stare at it all day long.
shel704 at aol dot com
My closest store is:
Harukuru Inc.
1723 E.32nd Street
Cleveland, OH 44114-4513

one6ylady(at)aol(dot)com
I'd love to see a tinkerbell design
BOO.... closest store to me is Abakus at 1100 Vine Street P121, Philadelphia, PA 19107 - they don't have ANYTHING in Delaware yet.
one6ylady (that's me) now follows both of you on Twitter, and I Tweeted about this crazy hot company and their wildly wicked flash drives here http://twitter.com/one6ylady/status/1233855208
I just twittered about you!
www.twitter.com/concordflight13
Oh and apparently the closest place to me is in Milford Connecticut at some store called Play.
Sadly I've never heard of the place.
And my favorite HAS to be http://www.mimoco.com/shop/mimobot-crossover-series/c-3po.html
C-Freakin-3PO.
I mean, who CAN'T love him?
Really now.
As for designs I'd really like to see.
I think that mimobot drives could offer a lot to bands.
If bands put even an EP on a drive and the made it look like someone in the band, or designed it with band logos, there could be not only some serious cash there, but a great opportunity to get music videos and band promotional material out and about.
So Death Cab For Cutie Mimobot?
Yes.
I love Meletta, as it has always been my dream to have a monkey sit on my head without all of the real-world consequences.
My Favorite one is C-3PO hes the best in Star Wars. To have a little C-3PO would be awesome.
I live in Maine and The closest store's that carry mimobots is in Boston, Ma and about a 6 hour Drive for me.
mimoShroom. I love the expression on its face!
My favorite is Owsley Owlbert. Owls are such cool birds, and so intimidating in person! Also, I like steampunk-inspired stuff--how cool would it be do have a real mechanical owl?!?
There are actually several locations near me because I live in Massachusetts--any of the Boston stores would be closest.
my favorite mimobot (that i've been eying up for a while) is the Bobafett one! he is such a ladies man. and i love that when you take off the cap, you can see his little face!!! :)
I'd really like to see a Mimobot designed by Rama Hughes, my favorite illustrator. http://www.ramahughes.com/
the closest retailer to me from Buffalo, NY is about 8 hours away in NYC! :(
(though, i feel like i have seen these at Urban Outfitters before?)
one artist that i would totally LOOOVE to see do a mimobot would def be Joe Ledbetter.
http://www.joeledbetter.com
i totally ADORE his work.
and have some of the limited edition vinyl toys that he has come out with.
:)
My favorite is definitely Golden Panda as my roommate has decided that if I were to be an animal I would be a panda and I believe it too.
OMG the only place in VA that sells them is Artisans which is a mile from my house!
I would love to see a mimobot designed by Tom Siddell who does Gunnerkrigg Court. I think his style is just beautiful.
http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/index2.php
My favorite mimobot?!?! It's so hard to choose! Although it changes weekly, but current favorite mimobot is Mr. TTT Rainbow by FriendsWithYou. He's so colorful and happy, and he would certainly brighten up my day wherever I take him =)
I live all the way in Hawaii. The only location that "sells" mimobots is a store called in Animation Magic, but they never have them in stock =( *sigh*
I tweeted:

Domo X MIMOBOT
I like how the teeth open when you pull off the cap.
I like the PSY cyclopse type mimobot!
It reminds me of Mike Wizoqski on Monsters inc.. which is my favorite movie to watch with his majesty.
