What To Do With Those First Generation Photo Frames?
First time accepted submitter icepick3000 writes "There are probably many digital photoframes unused these days laying around. Mine is from the first generation meaning you can only insert a compact flash card and display photos. Newer models nowadays can display weather, news, and stocks. Anyone have some good idea's how to give these old frames a second life? I have been thinking about compact flash cards that support wifi... maybe someone has a better idea?"

It's a photo frame for crying out loud. If it doesn't work, you can perhaps fix it. If you want weather on your fireplace's mantle, punch a hole to the outside and be done, mmkay?
A successful API design takes a mixture of software design and pedagogy.
Take headshots of your significant other looking very impatient, occasionally slightly moving to create the appearance of a live image. Glue a black plastic sequin to the middle of the top frame so it looks like a built in camera. Set the frame in portrait orientation and have it display the images in quick succession on your desk. Then whenever someone you don't want to talk to approaches, start apologizing to the frame, then turn it around for them to see, and whisper this: "I've got my wife on the telescreen... I have to take this call..." Bonus points if it is your wife who you avoid talking to in this way.
You seem very angry about some guy who just wants to tinker with some old piece of electronics. Did a digital photo frame once fall on your head or something?

They.. They took my job. Those photo frames.
I hate them all.
Like your local animal shelter - we use them at ours to display pictures of adoptable animals in local businesses, a volunteer drives around once a week with updated CF/SD cards. Much better than static posters.
Hmm... I have an idea for some fun hijinx... you're not perchance in the Seattle area, are you?

Why not display images on them? Start with this one, you bent-wristed neckwetter.

Display a different grammar rule every day. You can start with correct use of apostrophes.
what if you put some favourite pix on a compact flash card, load it in there... and use the thing to look at the photos or display them to visitors ?
