Sometimes, when you least expect it...

Google Adsense sometimes serves up some, well, unexpected advertisements.

Here is a real screenshot from this site that I took on March 29. Note the second advertisement at the top of this screenshot. Note the amazing correlation with the topic of ducting, the catchy prose, and, well, need I say more?

Kansas Weather: For People That Bore Easily

Last night, I figure we had every major type of precipitation: hail, rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow, in that order, plus 50MPH winds. All in the space of a few hours.

The wind continued. Terah told me, "you know you live in Kansas when the forecast says 'winds at only 20MPH tomorrow', and you're relieved!"

Yup. Never dull here.

Scanning Slides & 35mm Negatives

It's recently become apparent that I need to scan a bunch of slides and 35mm negatives into digital form. My church has a bunch of very nice slides from the 60s, my parents and grandparents have quite a few as well, and I have a bunch of 35mm negatives that I'd like to get digital.

It's also quite obvious that flatbed scanners aren't going to do the trick for me.

Scanners that start to approach the quality I'm after seem to start at about $1000. Does anybody know of a good scanning service? Or have some other ideas? Ideally, I'd like to scan hundreds of photos, but the $1000 is a bit tough.

I found this service, which looks decent.
