Geeky Notepad for Practically Free
The other day on StumbleUpon (I apologize for not having the link, but if someone can supply it, I'll be happy to put it here) a floppy disk notebook on sale for about ten dollars (USD). I decided to attempt this myself, and am actually quite happy with the result. You may want to make one. All I used were too floppies and a small stack of post it notes. I then drilled through the stack and put keyrings through the holes. I will warn that no two keyrings seem to be the same size. 
Does anyone else have any quick and cheap geeky creations? I'd love to see them!

Ha very nice! I might have to give that a go myself
That's just great… love it!
cool.. thanks for this..
Brilliant as always, Jake. I'm going to make one of these.
I love it, yes i do have one Duct Tape roses.
cool. i finally found something useful to do with my old floppy disks… i wonder if there's a post-it as big as the 5 1/2 floppy disks my dad still has…
This has to be one of the best geeky things yet! Nice work!
@pipo: Actually, found from StumbleUpon, the original floppy disk notebook is in fact a 5 1/2″ floppy disk notebook. As near as I can tell though, neither of these two notebooks (the original or the one that Jake made) are using Post-Its because you have to drill through the disks to put in the binding rings (and thus when you try to pull a sheet off, you'd rip the sticky part of a Post-It note off).

I wonder if one could make a CD notebook by drilling through CDs or if they would just shatter (or splinter).

I think the notebook idea is just kinky enough to be cute.
That's cool. Now I just need to dig out the old floppy disks…but do I really want to use my old Commodore 64 games to make it?
