How I did it
How to digitize my old photos
It took me
7 months
It made me
glad to be done!

How I did it: i gathered all my prints and negatives in one place and mercilessly slashed the pile using the techniques in "clutter control":http://www.amazon.com/Clutter-Control-Putting-Your-Home/dp/0440503396/ .  (sorry for the mess, the 43things link inserting system is broken.) i threw out the many i deemed not worth keeping and shipped the rest to http://www.scancafe.com/ . i upload the resulting scans to http://flickr.com/ . i printed p… Read how I did it…

digitize my audio cassettes (read all 6 entries…)

as an exercise in quicker gratification, i also posted the audio from another tape which contained a piece of music i wrote in college:

when i didn’t find this in the first batch of tapes, i thought it was gone forever. i’m glad i found and preserved it!
