<div><br></div><div>I got thinking though, when you burn a DVD, it changes colour where the information is stored. How hard would it be to burn the clock markings and times either radially or with a uniform "up" direction into the disk? Has anyone ever seen a similar project or method for burning specific shapes/patterns into a disc?</div>
