DIY Book Scanner

Let me look into the shipping issue-I'll figure it out tomorrow morning and answer the rest of your questions as well... Cool. I'm sure the shipping is a non-issue -- it's US domestic shipping to a US address that receives hundreds of packages weekly (albeit mostly for Canadians). The payment shoul...

Very, very tempted. But -- as I've just posted on Google+ -- I'm in Vancouver, and technically that disqualifies me. If you're cool with taking payment via Canadian credit card and shipping to about the farthest-north town in Washington (Blaine), then I could conceivably buy one. I'd also have to co...

Here's a story about an author HOPING somebody has a hard copy of his books, so they can scan them and convert them!

Wicked job making sure K and friend ended up with someone from MeFi! (BoingBoing had a link...)

Boing Boing has a readership larger than that of the New York Times, and Cory Doctorow is a copyfighting hero, so this should be good!

Hahahahaha! I just got back from vacation, and this is about the third post I read. Nice!

I'm looking forward to catching up...

That's all cool info -- thanks for posting it! I'm a CorelDRAW user from way back. Self-taught, but I'm *good* at it. I haven't taken a graphics course since high school, but a few years back I put together a 6-colour (CMYK + two spots), four-page print job that the commercial printer who printed it...

I thought I'd posted something to this effect long ago, but apparently not: How about using the laser to cut out a "camera obscurer" shield thingy for the Canon A590IS? You could cut it flat from dark cardboard or plastic, and fold and/or score it in appropriate places to let the flash and...

I've thought about this, too, and I'm afraid not all cameras support this. The Canon PowerShot A590IS does not, for example. Which sounds like a major bummer, until you contemplate the time it would take to transfer each photo via USB as it's taken. Maybe it's sour grapes from learning that my camer...

Still in the lead, Dan...
