i'm old. just past 30 to be exact. being that old means that a good portion of my life has been recorded on film and stored in a medium known as "slides". to see my life from the age of 0 to about 14 (and even beyond that to a point) requires lugging out a screen and a projector and then clicking away (which is actually really fun to do when all the equipment works).
a couple weeks ago i posted about some old journals and items from the past i discovered. going through that stuff made me regret a little bit not having access to those slides, especially since my wife has not been able to see a lot of the pictures (the projector broke around age 3, if i remember correctly).
well, little did i know, my mother was hard at work for the last seven months archiving well over a thousand slides in a digital format, and today i got the final product: a flash drive with all the pics and a cool book with about 300 of the highlights. amazing!
thank you so much mom!!!
