I dunno.. I might be a conservative here, but if someone I'm interviewing starts doing all these things, I'm going to feel like he/she is just trying a little to hard and might come out as fake.

It would be certainly interesting to bring a USB drive to an interview at IBM, where they don't allow USB drives due to security concerns (or so I'm told).
Ace the interview indeed.
