Geek Gadgetry And Digital Photo Framery

[Untitled] As a computer geek (I prefer to call myself a man with an appreciation for redundant technologies) my desk has always been filled with monitors (four at present), and there's always room for more (well, there isn't, but I could always get a bigger desk). I use my monitors for a variety of tasks and pleasures, but I can never quite utilize the space the way professionals do, like stock traders.

The Recycled Record CD Case

[Coolest Gadgets] One Etsy seller has a cute and definitely eco friendly idea to make use of those old records. The seller artyfakt takes the recycled records and sleeves and creates a box for CDs. Which almost seems a bit late. Isn’t it time that we start making holders for our USB drives out of old CD cases? Either way, if you’re for reusing old items, then this little box would likely work well for more than CDs. I think anymore I own all of four actual CDs. To which there isn’t a case for a single one, I just have a book for them. It just seems a bit ridiculous to have the plastic cases sitting around when book takes up so much less room.
