I know people who have used Scan Cafe and are happy with the results.
However, I'm not comfortable with the idea of sending my stuff half-way
around the world to be scanned. I have a Canon 9950f flatbed scanner
that can scan a variety of film sizes. It can scan 12 35mm slides in one
(very slow) pass and outputs individual files for each slide. From there
I bring them into Photoshop Elements for cleanup and correction. I am
probably going to pop for Adobe Lightroom here soon as it has some nice
organizational features.
I have a domain name registered and server space available courtesy of a
friend who runs a web server out of his house for fun.
Here are a few samples of what I've scanned so far.

I have more on my Facebook page for those of you who do that.
