August 21, 2013 - "Feynman: The Great Explainer"

Today, I worked solely on scanning/editing the 1931 Wallulah.

I stepped out at about 10:15a to rehearse music for convocation on Friday. I returned at 11:30a.

I also had a conversation with Sara about the yearbook and how the cost of one could be significantly reduced if copies were published digitally rather than physically. It definitely sounds like something worth looking into.

Also, I have decided to rename the scanner. "Matt" is my roommates name, and I used it as a temporary/fail-safe name because I couldn't think of a better one. At the very least it was funny, but I have decided on a new one. From henceforth the Plustek Opticbook Scanner shall be known as "Feynman" after Richard Feynman, a hobbyist physicist who managed to explain to physicists how particles behave using diagrams. He was a more impressive educator than physicist and broke down immensely complicated mathematical and scientific phenomena to much more simple understandings that more people could grasp.

Tomorrow, in the morning, Shanel is going to steal me for a little bit of time, so I won't be working on digitizing right away.
