I’m sure everyone has experienced losing a wallet at one point in their lives (I did just over a month ago), yet I don’t think anyone has ever decided to make their own Hard Drive Wallet to replace it. At least, not until Mikeysklar.
He essentially took apart an old hard drive, took two platters, riveted them together, and voila! A Hard Drive Wallet. I don’t know how comfortable it would be to carry around, but at least he won’t have to worry about spotting someone with the same wallet. Oh wait, he’s a dude.
