9/365 – Bamboo

I was just about to head out the door this afternoon when a courier pulled up at the driveway. He was here bearing a gift. One of my recent purchases from eBay, a brand new Wacom Bamboo tablet.

I have been meaning to get a tablet for ages having heard many photographers rave about them and the assistance they provide with detailed editing in Photoshop and other software. With a bulging PayPal account (and no bank account linked to it), I thought I would use some funds and invest in one.

This thing is cool. The level of interaction is fantastic and it won’t take me too long to get really fluent with it.

An additional bonus occurred when I fired up my music software on a hunch. Yep, I can use the tablet to “write” music using the notation software I have on my MacBook. This is a real bonus as not having a number pad on the MacBook is a hassle when using the music software. But now it’s just as fast if not faster to do my arrangements.

Thank you Wacom, my RSI is ensured now.

Oh yeah, I better go as I was slighty late leaving BEFORE the tablet arrived.

I thought this website was cute. Before I go any further can guys use the word ‘cute’?

Anyway … I digress.

43 Things is like a really big to do list. You write down your big goals in life and then tick them off as you achieve them (hopefully). You can even have the website email you reminders at a time frame of your choosing.

Might be fun to follow for a while.

Apple has released the latest version of Keynote, its presentation software.

For those who have not guessed … I hate PowerPoint.

Shutters Inc, one of the many photography podcasts I listen to have mentioned me on their blog.

Yes I have changed the design. But as it’s my blog I can do that whenever I want and as I am a die hard Mac user, how could this not be appropriate.
