At my house we are having a scratch and sniff party courtesy of this book:
Scratch and Sniff: Party by DK Publishing Festive sights and scents await in Scratch & Sniff: Party! Each spread features a large, long-lasting scent area, while simple text and thought-provoking questions encourage curiosity. P.S. Rumor has it that the next PRS-505 firmware update will incorporate scratch and sniff technology. PRS-500 owners are out of luck though, scratch and sniff technology uses to much memory. |

Google Book Search now smells better
In the process of scanning and storing images of pages from over a million books, we've benefited from the fact that the book is, generally speaking, a relatively uniform medium. Most books are a bound collection of flat pages, and the variations between volumes lie primarily in page size and number of pages. Our scanning processes work well for almost all of these titles -- we scan the images, clean them up, and present them for view on the Web.
But a small subset of books possess peculiarities that make them hard for us to archive. For example, we hit a snag when trying to scan pop-up books, how would one properly present a pop-up book in a browser? We've faced similar problems in scanning and displaying Braille books and flip books. However, today I'm pleased to let you know that we've made some headway with one type of volume we've struggled with in the past: books employing scratch-and-sniff technology. Using special equipment and tricky JavaScript, we're now able to capture some of the smells during the scanning process and then embed them in your web browser when you preview these titles in Google Book Search. http://booksearch.blogspot.com/2008/...ls-better.html |

No (sniff, whimper), the sky is all blue and clear and it's 100 degrees out again, and what is the POINT of all this stupid humidity if it's not going to RAIN????
I've been wandering around with a bandana headband for four days now looking like a blonde, female version of Tonto (in sunglasses, jeans and a paint covered t-shirt) just because the sweat is making my eyes burn like crazy!! If I believed in a rain god, I would be out there in the yard pounding a drum and dancing my little heart out. I'm just glad that tomorrow is Tuesday, because that means a free meal and several hours of good wine and good company. So, by 9:00 pm I should be much to wasted to care that it's freaking hot out. |
