(no subject)

I recently mentioned some cool bumper stickers. By searching Google for pages that link to that CafePress store, I discovered that their creator is Tampa's own tacit. And he seems to know an acquaintance of mine who's into various transhumanist hacks. I know it's a small world, but I didn't realize that the meat-world could be small, too.

A photographic tragedy

I finally found and sorted through my archives of photos -- several shoeboxes worth -- and I was about to take them to Walgreens for scanning at $2.99 ($3.99?) per CD, with about 100 pictures per CD. And then I found out that they changed the pricing model about a month ago. Now it's 39 cents per photo (with a minimum of ten photos).

So does anyone know about a scanning service that's comparably priced? I'll scan 'em myself if I absolutely have to, but this was going to be a great way to put almost 15 years of photography onto Flickr with a Creative Commons license. (I've already had photos used by a Scandinavian newspaper and (soon) a British physics journal.)

Damn, damn, DAMN my delay!
