Hehe yep thats that one. Thanks to JH for pointing toward the donor image for vector-tracing. It’s funny, I bought a whole CD of Victorian page illuminations and ended up just using a random internet image instead. I’m going just to upload those files for you, Jake. E-mail didnt like them very much. I’ll send you a link once they’re on my server. pax, -~D~-

Hey everyone I just added a cover page to the inside, complete with gold “embossed” page illumination. I think for future Opti-s, I’m going to open the scanner and glue a piece of parchment to the back wall, behind the scanner cradle. In fact, I’m damn tempted to hack that scanner out of there and do it to mine. hmmm.

Click my name and check out the first project on the page. This scanner is actually a small part of a very large casemod project.

Now if that were to be combined with Jack of All Trades’ Telecalculograph we could have a full thing going. All we need now is a decent screen mod.

“You don’t go to a museum to see the curators, do you? chuckles“

Actually, there was this really cute docent at the Met . . .

Yeah but there's still something to be said for journalistic diligence and presentation. I think it's less like seeing the curator and more like seeing a well-made magazine spread and thinking "wow, the writing and layout was very nicely executed."
So to reiterate my email, thanks for the posts and keep up the good work!

Oh now - all I do is collate, people like yourself, Datamancer and Mr Hildebrandt do the actual creating. You don't go to a museum to see the curators, do you? chuckles

Nice work Doc!

And congrats to TinkerGirl as well, this is maybe the third or fourth time in recent days I've seen Brass Goggles posts "via'd" in Make:Blog.
