[Ambassadors] Custom printed USB flash drives for schwag/sale

[Karlie Robinson]

Why not just do stickers? 
Print up a bunch of, version independent ones and use them whenever you 
want. 

Something like http://www.dometag.com/

Then if you really want to get fancy, a Kingston Data traveler is 
designed to accept a customizing label.  In fact when you buy one, the 
side with the metal label hardly stays in it's little recess.  It's 
suppose to come out.
