What's with all the PDF?
I took a freelance job writing an industry analysis on Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles. It's going to be pretty interesting, but stressful, I suspect.
So, I've started to do some preliminary research to pull together a table of contents and a table of tables for the report. Here's the thing that I'm finding intensely annoying.... it seems as ( Read more... ) -

Online Film Processing...

The way it works is mpix.com sends you a package with postage paid, you drop the film in the mail, then they post it online for viewing and mail the negatives back to you.
