Wireless Collaboration

Jessie Atkin posted a blog on Digital Landing about the revolutionary machine that is four machines in one.

We all love convenience, and what’s more convenient than a printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine in one? Did I mention it’s wireless?

That’s right, the Lexmark X6675 can do everything from print pictures directly from a memory card to scan pictures back to your computer over its Wi Fi connection. It claims to print 25 pages a minute in black and white. Four machines in one, and not one extra wire. How much better does it get? How much space does that save?

For just over $100 it’s almost steal. (If you’ve got over $100.)

A Reading Voice

Jessie Atkin posted a blog on Digital Landing. Read about the new scanner than can read text and turn it into an mp3.

Scanners are incredible, color photos, signatures, articles, all can be duplicated. Yet, can a scanner go beyond the visual? Beyond saving a file to creating one? The answer is yes.

The Book Reader V100 is up and running and ready to create MP3 files out of the written word. It’s a simple and silent way to create your own books on tape. I can’t say anything about how nice the digital voice will be to the ears, but it’s a start. Think of the possibilities? Get me a scanner that can copy my comics into video files and then you’ll really have something :) .

Photo Resurrection

Jessie Atkin posted a blog up on Digital Landing. It's about a cool new scanner that can be used on the negative strips from the time of film cameras.

So I’m not that old, but I must say that my earliest childhood moments are recorded on film, not online. I remember loading film, and to be honest, I liked it.

So now the USB Negative Scanner comes into play. Still have all those negatives hiding in drawers stored in envelopes from CVS? Well now it’s time to share the memories in our new digital age. It’s simple, load the 35 mm negative strips into the bottom of the scanner and suddenly you are the proud owner of a new wondrous library of digital pictures.

Give new life to old stories, upload an excellently embarrassing profile picture, the options are unlimited! Think of how much extra use you’ll get out of any new film photos you take today. I know kids taking a black and white photo class and as lovely as their final prints are it’s hard for those photos to translate appropriately to the computer through the lens of a digital camera. Add in the fact that this scanner is much more desk sized than a regular scanner and you see how college friendly it becomes. At $140 it’s not the cheapest gadget you’ll ever buy, but not the most expensive either. And memories are priceless, right?
