Digitizing my photos and music collection, not to mention my aging VHS collection, is a project that’s been on my personal back burner for years. Sometimes I just don’t have the time, other times I just don’t have the equipment, and other times I just don’t have the money to invest in the equipment or in a service that can save me the time of doing it myself.
Still, over at Lifehacker this week, there’s a beautiful roundup of how to go forward and digitize all of those older technologies that are still littered around your life, whether they’re VHS tapes, cassette tapes, photos, or even documents and receipts.
We all too often assume that when someone wants to digitize their media, they mean things like movies and music, but there’s so much more you can do, and this step-by-step is worth bookmarking when it comes time for you to divorce your addiction to paper and start storing your receipts and notes digitally.

First of all, thanks for sharing. Second of all… The fact that the VHS they’re showing is the Mr. T’s Be Somebody video is so amazing.
That is by far one of the most hilarious VHS tapes I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching.
Isn’t it? I love the example they chose. 😀
