Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't get why she can't use a phone?

I think you might be forgetting where my sister lives. "A phone" to a Jamaican isn't really the same sort of solution you might be thinking of. She has an old Blackberry that's been repaired multiple times, and an early iPod Touch whose screen longer really senses touch, due to the web of cracks through it.

Even so, recording hour, half-hour sessions of patient information with a gorilla pod that she'd be shopping for right now like she's shopping for a mount or dedicated camera would have to go on a chair she can't work into the room's layout.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Anyone have a recommendation for a scanner? Primary purpose right now is for photos, but I'd like one that can kind of handle everything.

I don't know what 2013 has brought the line, but my Epson V600 Photo is markedly better than either of my previous scanners at handling colour balance and pencil drawings. It also scans slides and negatives. The scanner software is a bit--obstinate, but it's nothing major.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have the Epson V700 Photo that I like a lot.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

This Canon has worked well for me: [link]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So I just moved from Google Reader to the paid subscription service Feedbin. So far, it seems like it does a pretty good job of duplicating Reader's functionality.

Trust my rage

I use the Fujitsu ScanSnap at work and at home. I mostly scan documents but I think it would work well for photos as well.
