The background
When I was working as an apprentice printer tech a few years ago, I learned about this. During a service call, one of the office workers came over to my boss with something in his hand. It was a CD-R that looked all broken up.
"Whoa.. what happened to that?" I asked.
"This is what happens when you nuke a CD." The guy handed it to me. It was one of the coolest thing I had ever seen! You can probably guess what I did after work!
It was amazing! Why hadn't I thought of doing that? Who HAD thought of it first? I still wonder about that. With 10 million search results, I'm not sure I'll ever know for sure.
The popularity of this trick was fueled, I think, by AOL and all those free CDs they'd send to people.
The hypothesis
A CD in the microwave will be awesome.
The materials
A supply of CDs
A microwave
The procedure
Put the CD in the microwave.
For the most artistic burn, give it at most 2 seconds.
The results
Don't over cook.
Free internets, not that pretty.
Recorderable CDs of questionable content, now 'dem be purty!

I'm sending my best friend this last article (blog?)
She loves those AOL CD'S. She usually makes weird things w/them. Covers the desk or walls with them. I think it would be cooler if she "Nuked" them first.
