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.

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

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.

I get really frustatrated with cell phones because various coordination and nerve injuries and eye problems make them very tough to use. If I ever decide to get a tablet anyway, is there a tablet out there that can double as a primary cell? Like can an iPad or a high quality Android with a blue tooth head set work? Would you have to get a generous data plan and use Skype in or Google Voice something? Or do some of them take Sim cards and actually work on one of the conventional cell networks?
