    Amazing! This is a great way to take a perfectly good scanner and turn it into the worst digital camera in the world…I've always wanted a camera that distorted my pictures to the point where they were worse than the pictures my cell phone takes. Kudos on making this invaluable information accessible to the general public!

    Very well demonstrated, written and edited e-tutorial. I was dreading sitting through multitudes of uh's and and-uhhhh's and this video was much more professional. What a cool McGuyver-ized project with extra material you can get at the dollar store. Thanks! I'm trying it!
