Podcast: Origami for your cds
17 Dec 2004
I found the coolest site this week and it inspired todays word. The word is Origami and the site is PaperCDCase.com. I know I found the site on one of the popular blog sites but I can’t recall which one- sorry.
Back to the word- origami. It is a Japanese word that literally mean to fold paper. The more accurate definition is the art of paper folding. Just folding paper isn’t origami. Folding it to resemble something beautiful is origami.
For a skilled origami artist I doubt PaperCDCase.com counts, but I think it should. PaperCDCase.com lets you create a CD case out of standard 8/12 x 11 inch or A4 paper. On their site you enter the name of the album, the artist and the track names. Then you click Create CD Case. You get a pdf file you can print out with all the CD info on it and instruction for folding it into simple, effective & free CD case.
It is a very cool site put up by MESH, Michigan Engineering Software and Hardware. “A student group that works on software and hardware projects.”

Really enjoying your podcasts, Scott. Would like to suggest the word “beauteous”. I have used the word since college days and yesterday, I was in a store in Boulder and the woman who served me described some hand-crafted jewellry that I was looking at as “beauteous”. I was taken aback as I don’t recall hearing anyone utter that word for over 30 years.
