This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I had good luck with these at my wedding. Instead of disposable cameras, I put cheap digital cameras. It didn't take long for guests to realise that the pictures were appearing on a large tv, in a sideshow. People got a lot more creative when they realised they would be seen quickly, not weeks later.

I managed to get them working without proprietary software, too. The onboard script logged into WiFi and uploaded the photos over ftp.

Given their size and the level of tech at the time, it was pretty impressive.

What year?

Less than 10 years ago, though they were getting obsolete at the time.
