From Board Game to Computer Accessory

I've seen game pieces used in jewelry and as scrapbooking embellishments, but this one on the techietechno blog is a first. A Scrabble keyboard. Most of the keys on this keyboard came from an actual Scrabble game. The edges were rounded off to fit the keyboard better. I must admit I've never really thought to take an old item and make something high tech with it. I think the board from the game needs to become the mouse pad next to this keyboard.
