"What To Do With the Leftovers:
# Dissolve the rest of the instant coffee in a bucket full of hot water and soak your jeans in it overnight to get that worn-in tint that Urban Outfitters charges extra $$$ for."

I tried but how does one get the CF card open... I just cannot get the top off it... suggestions :-)

Yeah, This has poped up on a couple of blog posts.... Sure you can develop in lotsa acid/base type of things but I suspect you pay a bit in...er....quality.

You need to "develop" these electrically -- a couple of nails stuck into a lemon and some wire should do the trick.

But really, who needs film ...?

Yeah, I saw this in a blog post a couple weeks back, I think I will be trying it to soon, just for kicks. Might put my film pinhole camera to use again...

did anyone else notice in the pictures they loaded 35mm film on the reel, but when they opened the developing take they removed 120 (medium format) film?

Pretty groovy trick! ;-)

Yeah. You need to use decaffeinated coffee if you don't want the film to grow.
