LA Times Scan

I was thinking even higher resolutions. What we are scanning with these newspapers is a rahter small add. By scanning at higher resolution, we can view them larger on our screens. Since images on a screen are only really displayed at 72dpi, scanning at 144 would enable us to view it double size. I wold also recomend a higher resolution because scanned text can lose some definition.

Here's a larger version, for people who like those big fonts.

In looking back at recent scans of ads, I can't help but notice section numbers. Since I don't have these papers in front of me, my question is, are all of the ads being posted in the same classified sections? Today's was in "Personal Messages" Where were the others? Whomever placed the ads must have known where they would appear, and could have purposely selected sections for each ad. They also would know that section's number, and therefore the number of the section might be relevant to the ad.

jomolungma's post got me thinking. This one wasn't in the lost-n-fFound section. Which suggests it's not reporting something lost. I mean, it has the "Lost. The Cube." heading. But the actual content is something else entirely.

in fFact, it reads more like an encyclopedia entry. A bit like this over here about H. Zeller. the mood and spirit isn't like a report about a stolen object at all. I mean i suppose it could be. But the mood seems to suggest this is a piece of an entirely different article fFrom somewhere else.

well, maybe.

... or we still lack 4 pieces. imho these are really ONE big thingie together, though, i see your point why it'd be a part of a different thing. the style really differs, so does the section. i say it _might_ be something, but we should wait for all ads.

[jomolungma]

Are 4 pieces really enough to complete anything of substance? Think about it - 4 pieces will give us maybe 8-12 more lines. A typical press release, if that's what this is, is at least two to three paragraphs. I don't think we'll have enough at the end of the papers to make a complete document.

If it isn't a press release it's a very odd sounding snippet from something else, but I believe still a snippet. I can't see how we'll get the whole thing by the end of these paper ads - perhaps they'll lead to a location where the rest of the document exists, or the document will need to be supplemented through, say, email responses from the email addresses at the bottom (I'm going out on a limb and saying they'll be more addresses in coming ads).

What I think might happen is that all of the newspaper adverts will have snippets from the speculated press release in the their dimension, except for the Guardian which may have a copy of the press release with parts of the paragraphs blanked out with a black pen, and the earlier snippets will fit into these...
