Context: Storing and sharing digital material of a leisurely nature.

Description: Disposable memory sticks made of simple materials such as cardboard, encouraging a less respectful approach to the storage device. Browsing a memory flake is done by placing it in a bowl connected to a computer.

Interesting: Making the physical qualities of the storage device match its not-so-important contents and its lightweight and casual use.

Inspired by: Miscellaneous work in tangible interfaces.

Date: May 2005.
