this hack is a prime example of how to make something useful out of something useless.
the $1 teleprompter:
1 clear cd case cover
6 cd cases
just set this contraption on top of a laptop screen and the clear cd cover reflects the laptop screen in your direction. your webcam is positioned just behind the cd cover, so your line of sight is aimed directly at the camera.
several of you sent this in, but kris was the first. thanks!
