REFLECTIONS
New
literary invention. Notice the
unique literary device I just created (at age
22)—literary
truncation. Very
clever. I must have been tired.
No news today. Just German language work.
Learning
German with CD-ROMs. I may be
tempted to go out and buy a Berlitz or Total
Immersion German language CD course today. Just to
see if I can revive my knowledge of German. I don’t
have any time to do this, but it may be fun.
[Later today—2007]…just bought the Berlitz German
Premier CD-ROM course (8 CDs). Maybe, I’ll review
just a bit. This version can also be used on an iPod.
Yes!
DigMyPics.
Tomorrow,
I’ll be sending off about over 600 slides to be
scanned. I was considering Kodak’s slide scanning
services that I know are probably excellent. However,
these slides have been sitting around for 36 years,
and despite being in plastic sleeves, may have been
exposed to some dust over time. Thus, I am going with
a scanning service (DigMyPics.com) that provides
additional cleaning and attention to each slide. It’s
more expensive but, in this case, totally worth it.
We’ll see.
John
