A water main had burst during the night, flooding the lower level of the district’s administration building, where the nine-employee Document Services Center (DSC) resided.

October 30, 2010

I just got back from spending the day yesterday at PhotoPlus Expo and will recap here some of the more interesting products from the show floor. Thanks to a flood of late summer product announcements from Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony, Samsung, Olympus and others - there just weren't that many new products to see, but after wandering the show floor and talking to both the manufacturers and many show attendees I did find a few interesting items to talk about. PhotoPlus Expo is an annual photography tradeshow designed to give retailers, professional photographers, and consumers a look

Crowds Return to Graph Expo

A year after the disappointing attendance levels of PRINT 09, this week's Graph Expo 2010 seemed like a real trade show again. The aisles were full of people, who massed around new products, and kept vendors busy with demos.

The Curse of Untrained Employees
October 1, 2010

Next time you're in London—and Her Majesty is not in residence—take a tour of Buckingham Palace. It is drop-dead splendid, as is the Queen's Gallery next door, one of the world's most spectacular small museums.

You will find yourself privileged to peek into the life and legacy of one of the richest, most beloved women in the world, and who is—it is generally agreed—very good at what she does. Most of the time.

But what nitwit in the Queen's employ approved the idea of hitting on state funded energy-saving grants set up for low-income families to help pay the heating and lighting costs of her nine palaces? (See IN THE NEWS at right.)

Expanding the Creative Horizons of Your Printer
September 22, 2010

In many homes these days, the printer sits ignored. It gets a little bit of exercise around tax time, perhaps. But as more people rely on their cellphones for maps or use high-resolution tablet screens to read articles, they print less.

But the home printer can do more. Did you know that your home printer is also a custom textile manufacturer? It can also churn out board games, 3-D models and hardcover books. Crafters and hobbyists have breathed new life into the category by developing unusual do-it-yourself projects, and companies have followed them by creating materials to feed through printers
