Subject: Digitizing vinyl records.
Here's an interesting application of technology. This fellow claims to
have used a flatbed scanner to make images of records and has written
some software to decode the music from those images.

Obviously the resulting sound quality is a bit crude, but it's an
interesting hack.
Crude yes but pretty cool too. It amazes me what some people will do with
their spare time. Next thing you know, he'll start trying to fix some broken
old computer just because he thought it might be fun.
