A Different "Chrome" Topic - Restoring Kodachrome Slides

My latest project is to find a way to physically restore damaged Kodachrome slides.  These are slides going back as far as 1941 which have unfortunately warped enough to make scanning a problem.  See: http://techworkscorner.com/2014/photography/Restoring-Kodachrome.htm for the details.  Any advice you can give me would be appreciated!

Jumping Into Chromebooks (including Acer C720 Review)

Acer C720 Chromebook review
After cautiously waiting on the sidelines, I decided to jump into the Chromebook pool to test the waters.  The Chromebook I chose was an Acer C720.  Bottom line -- a great experience and excellent value!

Photoshop CC's 3D Monster Generator


http://techworkscorner.com/2014/photoshop-3D-monster-generator.htmAs soon as the new Photoshop CC support for 3D printing came out, I decided to give it a try by adding supports to an existing .STL design.  But I had some strange, unexpected results...  Your input is welcome, especially if I'm doing something wrong!

Streaming content with Google's Chromecast

The topic of Google Chromecast came up a few times recently.  It reminded me that I saw a few ads for it on TV over the holidays and was wondering if anyone "got it" as to what it was supposed to do.  I thought some explanation was in order.  I'm not a Netflix user, but it works great for me on YouTube videos.

Tangling with the Cell Phone Services

My recent tangles with cell phone services -- Verizon seems to have become too big to deal with customers.  It has become hard to even pay them!

An experiment in progress...
