My appetite for political and sociological media is bigger than my eyes. I have magazines in piles everywhere, and only recently discovered a solution for all my coded binders of articles clipped: now, I have them in piles waiting to be scanned in by my Fujitsu ScanSnap S510M.
All I need now – Apple SDK developers, take note — is a superior high-res PDF viewer in my mobile. The OCR software that came with the ScanSnap lets me search for any words (correctly recognized) in any article, so I’m no longer dependent on the document title for its retrieval. And so now, I can search for all the keywords that will engineer a dynamic sample of my interests. I can search for an ingredient at the farmer’s market and see which recipes I’ve scanned use it, and what else I need to get. No more paper! Downsizing! It’s all good.
