Handmade SD card-size memory books

"I discovered some old smart media memory cards from an ancient digital camera," writes Sheila at Cheeky Magpie. "You know, the kind that was as big as an air conditioner and took photos about as well? The memory cards have little memory and even less usefulness these days so I was going to pitch them. But I hate just throwing things away."

So she made this from the contents: a permanent hard copy of the thoughts therein. Upgraded them to SD format, too!

Speaking as a bookbinder, this is a pretty sweet idea. I wish the binding was a little more classically book though.

Smartmedia cards are at least twice the size of SD cards

There's been too many articles on Tilt-Shift photography on Boing Boing for us to believe this. That thing could be huge!

This is dumb.

No dumb, at all. Rather, a cute little visual pun that succeeds in making a comment about the seemingly-incessant changes to forms of archive.

It's actually a couple of smart media cards and the pages measure just over 1 1/2 by just under 1 1/2 inches. If you bothered to follow the link, you would read that it's made using photos taken with the memory cards. #5 wins.
