Holy edible circuit board!  This is just the coolest food make ever.  Why couldn’t we have had someone think this up when I was a kid?  This is the kind of nerd fun that arts and crafts time is all about.  Construction paper turkey’s and circuit boards!!  I may have actually learned more about hardware if I had this project 20 years ago… maybe.

Have you ever had that situation where a friend hands you a CD they just burned but they don’t have a spare case?  Or maybe you burned it and end up having to stack it on top of another CD?  Sadly, this has happened to me on a multitude of occasions.  Now, thanks to a post about how to make a CD case from a single sheet of 8×11 paper I found, this will never be a problem (unless there is also no paper around).  It will take a few tries to get the step memorized but it is pretty simple and works great.  Ah interwebs, is there nothing you can’t teach me to do?
