Last Year's Gadgets Get New Life As... Jewelry
Will Sherman writes "Liz McLean Knight, a Chicago native, has applied her interest in electronics, computers, and music to a line of jewelry created under the name, Zelle. The catch? She almost exclusively uses spare computer and electronics parts in her work. Many of her pieces would be a perfect gift for your LAN admin, that cute girl in the IT department, or your favorite DJ. Among other things, she sells a belt made from IDE cable, necklaces made from capacitors, and a cuff bracelet made of midi cables. But can she turn my broken iPod into something wearable?"
I had a Pentium Pro key ring made by Intel which was pretty cool. It was metal with the Intel Inside logo on one side and the Pentium Pro's dies on the other side. The Pentium Pro had a seperate die for the cache and cpus which made it neater to look at than than the regular Pentium keychain.
Sometimes my arms bend back.
Yeah, I've got a celeron on my keychain. In my spare time I pulled the pins out of it. I used to wear a 78-pin SIMM on my dog tags, but that got too scratchy. My old business partner had a 30-pin SIMM on his.
:) It's a pity the yen coins I had fell off of it.
It's not just computer stuff. A good friend of mine wants to drill a hole in a d100 (a 100-sided "die" used in rpg's) to put on his keychain. I know several people that have d20's.
Of course, my keychain is frikkin' huge, but it has to be or I'd lose it
Anyone ever notice how hard the ceramic-like material that makes up a 1st generation pentium is? That's stuff's hard to drill through.
Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach either, do tech support.
Seriously, I can't be the only one who does this: http://www.deviantart.com/view/18247115/

...than most of you thought... Indeed, even longer than a few of y'all have been alive.
In 1982, Khan wore a pretty cool necklace. [0]
Definitely in the same vein as capacitors and IDE cables...
