New Use for the iTouch Flashlight App

Yesterday I need to do some trace work, transferring a sketch I did to a cleaner line drawing. I thought to myself, "I need a light table." However, innovation struck. I had just downloaded the Flashlight app for my iTouch a few days prior, and remembering that nice, bright, solid white, flat surface, it just made me think of a mini light table. At only 3.5 inches wide it was a bit on the diminutive side, but the sketch was small enough that it worked just fine. I'll have to remember this the next time I need to view slides on the go as well!

Niiiiice. I love that app! I use it almost every night. Mike goes to bed so much earlier than I do, and I have to turn off the house lights as I make my way back. The flashlight app keeps me from banging into the dryer ;).
Dude, this is a great idea for slides! I've always been frustrated with the larger power versions, but this I can slide behind a sleeve of slides and look them all over really quickly! Bravo!
Do . . . do you and Joel really view slides that often? Is there some kind of indie slide-viewing culture I'm not aware of because I don't get out enough?
