Progress can be measured...

by this growing column of Kodak slide carousels, as I continue to scan/digitize my enormous slide collection.  The towering stack shown in the image above (click to enlarge) has been completed, and I've made it a priority to scan the slides used in my teaching first.

This has been a surprisingly joyful (although tedious) process, as each slide set takes me back in time to a variety of field trips, travels, and adventures that had faded in my memory.  I can already see that this will turn out to be an invaluable, and quickly accessible, digital photo-journal when all is done.  It's certainly been well worth the investment in time and I should have embarked on this project much sooner.
