It’s that time of year again when all the Elves are endlessly sitting on shelves. This year my office is having a contest for best Elf on the shelf photo.<\/p>\n

Since I work in IT, I figured my photo entry must be IT related.<\/p>\n

Destroying Laptops Is Fun!<\/h4>\n

I found an old HP i3 laptop that was broken sitting around the house and decided to have some fun. In my head I pictured the Elf going through the screen (in one side and out the other) looking as happy as can be!<\/p>\n

The first step was to remove any useful components still inside the laptop. I was able to recycle the hard drive, memory and processor. I also removed the mother board,\u00a0 DVD writer and battery and properly disposed of them.<\/p>\n

Cutting the hole.<\/h4>\n

Dremel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First I dew an outline of the hole on the display using a sharpie, then using my Dremel MM45-06 Oscillating tool\u00a0 <\/a>I cut the hole all the way through the laptop. WARNING! Laptop screens contain glass, use work gloves and eye protection while cutting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stage The Elf.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

I tried the Elf in a few positions to test how we would look.<\/p>\n

My Entry – Elf On The Shelf Contest<\/h4>\n

After a few renditions I decided on the following two photos to enter into the contest.<\/p>\n
