- From New Scientist 17 December:
-
- "Ceedeez of Sommerville in Massachusetts is selling recycled compact discs
- as jewellery. The company cuts up old CDs and CD-ROMs into small pieces,
- and mounts the fragments on earrings, pendants and pins. The rings of data
- pits on the shiny discs scatter light in glitering rainbow colours ...
- etc"
-
- Re-printed without permission. I've no connection with Ceedeez but I am
- looking for christmas gift ideas.
