Don't Throw Away Those Old CD's or DVD's - Reuse Them

I recently came across a few great ideas of how to reuse your old CD's and DVDs. We all encounter the free CDs that we receive in the mail, or errors when burning a disk at home. Instead of throwing away those disks why not reuse them?

Everyone has CDs laying around the house. Its time to collect those old CDs and turn them into a work of art. This first project will use 15 CD's to build a CD rack. Sounds far fetched? Check out the instructions. This project -- surprisingly -- is not that difficult to build.

Ever thought of using those CDs and DVDs as a coaster? You can apply a piece of felt by gluing it to cover of the disk.

Use as reflectors for you bike and/or driveway. Simply drill holes in the disk and fasten to your bike, mailbox post, or add them to a steak and install it where needed.

Listening to Rock Music May Improve Your Memory and Concentration

Listening to guitar based music such as Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC, or the Red Hot Chili Peppers could help improve your memory and concentration. According to Times Online, researchers at a Scottish University monitored the brain activity of 16 volunteers while they performed simple memory tests. When the volunteers where listening to rock and classical music, bran scans revealed that they required far less effort to complete their tests.

For us avid music lovers this should come as no surprise. Music can be used to battle depression, break the tension in a discomforting car ride, or in this case improve our brainpower.

No More Stage Fright For American Idol's Alex Lambert

Alex Lambert says that his nerves got the best of him during his early American Idol days, according to MTV News. Judging from his recent performances, the singer appears to be choosing songs that suit him while improving his performances every week. Unfortunately, this was not enough to keep Labert on the show. On Thursday, March 11, 2010, Lambert didn't make the top 12.

Lambert was not alone, however. Lilly Scott, Katelyn Epperly and Todrick Hall were also booted from the stage. I wish them all the best of luck.
