Scanning Our Library

DeliciousLibrary.jpgPam and I bought Delicious Library, a $40 Macintosh program for inventorying your library of books, videos, and music. You can buy a scanner (which we did), for scanning bar codes. It then transfers the info via bluetooth to your computer, looks up the item on Amazon, and downloads info about it--publisher, cost, synopsis, thumbnail photo, etc. Real slick. So far, I've scanned in over 700 books. Still got three bookcases to go. Plus all of our videos and music CDs. I love this program.

BTW: No, we don't own Kill Bill. That screenshot is from the Delicious website.

Ever have a "doh" moment? So much for our Mac superiority :P

The other night I remembered my new Mac has a webcam built in (I'm really do forget it).

I remembered that Delicious Library could scan using the old, add-on iSights, so I tried the built-in version. Its a bit clumsy waving a book in front of the camera, but it works like a charm.

I should have known Macs just work. :D
