Casper, the Dead Baby, Pt. 1.
Oct. 2nd, 2004 07:48 pmSigh. I tried to scan Kaspar, the Dead Baby, but ran into a lot of problems.
For one thing, the originals I have are much too big for the scanner I have access to - they're 11x17. I reduced them on a digital copier beforehand, but the reduced copies had lot a lot of detail and were still too large for the scanner. But I didn't realize that until I was actually trying to scan them.
I ended up having to scan them in two pieces each, mostly, but the images just wouldn't join up properly - it's a fairly cheap scanner. The first page was the only one that fit completely in a single scan.
This is frustrating, to put it mildly! If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Meanwhile, here's a very poor rendition of the first page. Notice that a LOT of detail is missing - for example, you can't see "The Dead Baby" under the name "Kaspar" at all.

EMERGENCY!
Aug. 30th, 2004 08:42 pmOn the commuter rail ride home I once again was left standing for the first half of the trip. I'm used to it, so it didn't really bother me. But after about twenty minutes my brain processed the graffiti on the safety poster on the opposite wall.
I couldn't help it - I laughed so hard tears came to my eyes. People thought I was nuts. The conductor got it, though.
I don't know if many people in the world would find it as funny as I did. I wonder if some of the passengers thought I'd written the graffiti. Doesn't really matter. I was able to find the same poster online and made the necessary additions.
