Converting old memories into new digital formats means encoding them as a string of zeroes and ones, like a scoring table after a yodeled rendition of "Amazing Grace" divides judges between goose eggs and perfect 10s. Express yourself binarily with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $75 worth of media-conversion services from Southtree.

Having preserved more than 25 billion frames of home-movie magic, Southtree modernizes fading videotapes, film, and photos to stave off deterioration before it eats away the vibrancy of irreplaceable memories. Customers can immortalize 1980s gazpacho-eating contest triumphs with Southtree's videos-to-DVD and film-to-DVD services, adding chapters and disc titles to film formats that include MiniDV, Hi8, Video8, and VHS cassettes ($8.95/tape) and 8mm, Super 8, and 16mm ($15.95/50 ft.). Kodak digital image correction and enhancement erases distracting dust and beach-photo belly-button lint during the photos-to-digital service ($0.59/print, negative, or slide), while the audio cassette-to-CD service ($15.95/cassette) resurrects four-tracked garage-rock albums and dictated memoranda on the exigence of dodo-bird overpopulation with automatic track divisions and noise reduction.

While today's Groupon is valid for any combination of Southtree's services, the total value can be applied to digitize eight videotapes, four 3" film reels, 125 photos, four audio cassettes, or one wax cylinder. The simple mail-in process takes three to four weeks to complete, with a flat-rate return shipping fee of $9.95 regardless of order size.

Southtree

In 2001, the team at Southtree converted their first videotape to DVD. By the time they celebrated their 10-year anniversary, they had transferred more than 250,000 memories onto long-lasting digital formats. Today, clients follow a simple process with services that include photo-scanning, video-to-DVD, film-to-DVD, data DVD, and ancient Roman scrolls into text messages about togas. The staff processes each item by hand, yielding high-resolution photos and professionally mastered DVDs. Customers should allow eight weeks from the time materials are sent to Southtree to receive shipment.

The Groupon Guide to: Bumper Stickers

With the government cracking down on the Internet and dirty video games, the only public forum we have left is bumper stickers. These are the best ones to pump up your bump:

  • "My other child is an honor student"
  • "I LOVE SPROTS!"
  • "There’s a troll in my trunk. Just kidding! I wish I weren’t though. I wish magic was real."
  • "I hate some of the presidents"
  • Calvin peeing on the words “public urination”
  • “Coke-exist” spelled using the Coke logos
  • "Don’t like my driving? Call 1-800-SORRYME for a prerecorded message of me apologizing"

Don’t blame me. I tried my best at being president.
