If you actually read that huge list of things that I proposed to do during the year of 2010, you might remember that submitting a project to instructables was one of my goals. For those of you not familiar with Instructables, it's an awesome site. Members post step-by-step instructions for just about any project you can possibly imagine. Way way way in the dark and dusty archives of the old D.P. there is a post where I linked some instructables projects, such as hooking LED's up to your bike wheel to make a lighted picture while you're riding...I of course would like to pimp out my spinning wheel, but haven't tackled electronics as a hobby just yet.
One of the things they do are contests, and they are running a contest right now for uses for paper coffee cups. I drink a lot of coffee, and I do occasionally come in contact with a paper cup, so I thought I might be able to think up some use for the garbagey things.
Voila! A scrap paper notebook. The only "new" thing in this project is the thread. The covers are of course, coffee cups, and the pages are messed up bids from our construction company, which we have a lot of, because apparently I haven't learned my lesson about proof reading BEFORE I print.
Super easy, super quick and super cool. All of my friends and neighbors will be getting "garbage" notebooks for solstice this year.

love it--going to make one immediately!!
You can fill it with ideas about what to do with your newly abundant spare time!
Ah, anything to lessen the guilt of the To-Go cup! I love it!
And I would love to trick out both my mt. bike and my wheel with LEDs. If I did my bike I would be afraid I would mesmerize an MSU student and end up getting hit by a car.
But I guess that is a danger anyway, huh?
