    Techno-shamanism! I made a dream-catcher made from some plates.

      I made a wind chime once that I really loved. Had to dirty the plates because they could catch the sun well enough to vaporize your retinas

    I use the platters like this as my primary long term storage solution. It just saves so much space without the large enclosures. /s

    No, because I am worried the NSA may try to collate data from them. In fact, I zero-wipe, drill bit the drives in the platters and the PCB, and drop them off at e-waste for recycling.

    This is cool, but honestly kind of a deranged question to ask.

    That’s amazing. Jaw dropping.

    I thought I was cool for making a clock one time.
