Funny how I have to leverage technology to make a remote post. But, I did it all with my smartphone. I used it to take the picture, then transfer it to my computer via USB and after some resizing on the computer, I used my smartphone as a 3G modem and uploaded it to my server so I could connect it to blogger.
I think it turned out okay. Not as good as my normal flat-bed scans, but I think this will work.
Yeah, its sad, isn't it? With this being a rather fancy hotel (from what I have been told), I was hoping to find some in my room. I guess I shouldn't expect to feel like the 60s just because I am carrying a typewriter with me from the 60s!
But, when I called to the front desk, a few minutes ago, they did give me a sheet of letterhead (with a cool black border) and an envelope. I should have asked for more, but I didn't want to push it.
So, I've got one penpal on my list of "its my turn to respond to" and it looks like he will be getting a one-page letter from me on hotel stationery and envelope!

Looks good! Thanks for not giving in to the easy way and keeping up the difficult, pointless, wonderful thing that is typecasting.
ReplyDeleteI remember when every decent hotel would provide stationery in the desk drawer of your room.

I sent out a letter last night and I scored a couple more sheets of letterhead, now I just need to figure out who to send to...
