I've started taking our old negatives to Costco--film taken pre-digital camera. Costco will digitize and put your pictures on CD for $2.99 a set of negatives. That comes to roughly $0.12 per picture. I have a few motives here.

1) Archiving pictures from our past--Ultimately even the pictures Paula and I took as kids.

2) Revisiting experiences from our past. I use iPhoto almost daily. If I want to take a gander at our vacation to Cancun or Anchorage it takes mere seconds. If I want to look at anything pre-2003, I really have to pull out physical albums. That really never happens.

I was driving to pick up my daughter from daycare today doing what I always do--listening to NPR. Most of the new was pretty depressing.

There was an article on the detainees at Guantanamo Bay--tapes have been released via the freedom of information act. Very depressing stuff.

There was, however, one little gem. Tom Waits has released a THREE CD album called "Orphans". Apparently it has old songs, new songs, and covers. The interview was wonderful with Tom. His usual strange quips like "Don't feed the dolphins" popped out here and there. It had me pretty much enthralled.
