Second, I borrowed Mike's cuecat and scanned in all the books I own at my office, all 147. It reads the ISBN on the back and saves it to a file, which we can then use with Books for Laura's Mac and make a catalog of all our books. It's great for record-keeping needs, like insurance, or just to have a list of books so we know what we already own and can find a book quickly. Now, it's time to scan the books, CDs and DVDs from home. Technology is amazing.

Two Cool Things
First, I've been able to add an RSS feed to this site, thanks to some help from Mike Waddell. For a while, I've been using bloglines.com to aggregate all my news sites, and it's really neat to finally have a feed for everyone else to use. The interface is easy to use, no more checking 30 sites a day for news, no sir, it's all at one place.

Wish I had picked up a cuecat from RadioShack when they had the promotion. If you have a camcorder, give Delicious Library a try.

I paid $15 for the cat (modified to USB already), and $5 shipping. I figured £10 for USB barcode scanner was worth it.

Thanks!
