Birthday Wishes

Today is April 25, which means that my 29th birthday is in a month. What do I want? I am glad that you asked. All that I desire for my birthday (other than dvd copies of Monty Python movies I guess) is a Canon 8800F scanner. They can be purchased new for around $175 (Amazon link here). I am sure that someone I know could start a pool and get with other people I know so that each individual doesn’t have to put more than $20 or so into the pot ;).

What this scanner will allow me to do is scan my negatives. I have a crappy all-in-one now. When I do 35mm I usually get a photo CD, which aren’t too bad. My big problem is 120 film. They charge an arm and a leg to scan, so I usually get 5 inch (square) prints and scan myself on my crappy scanner. Usually the scans don’t do the images justice.

    Dang, no comments.

    I’m sure that means everyone is busy pooling their money.

    People are lining the streets.

    Everywhere.

    They are not able to comment on the streets giving their nickel to the cause.
