New toy

On the way home from work last night I bought myself a little treat:
It’s a Wacom Bamboo 1 graphics tablet - just the basic model for playing with. One of the things I will start using it for is creating Sketchcasts, which look like a really cool mashup of lo- and hi-tech. Here’s an example which describes what they are all about:

Twitter Chat- @rbuerckner none available yet, @davebriggs (http://davepress.net/ - great blog btw Dave) said to watch that tag for more details
- @rbuerckner no link for #googlelocalgov just yet. Keep your eye on the hashtag tho for when we get a site ready to go.
- @neilphillips thanks for the mention but it's important to manage expectations - #googlelocalgov isn't a barcamp, more of a trad. event
- RT @jamescridland: RT @davebriggs: #bbcfree is a sensible campaign to get the beeb to produce full text RSS - http://bbc.broadersheet.com/

Good move Dave. I bought a Wacom tablet a couple of years back, and simply would never be without one again. Haven’t seen the relatively new Bamboo, but my Volito is absolutely rock-solid and totally reliable.
For those who haven’t yet seen them… the key is that the pen is wireless, and doesn’t even need a battery. Some kind of magnetic magic, I believe. Most cheaper solutions have either a cable, or a battery (or both?).
Nice toy and nice spot. That could work in schools.
Simon - cool. Good to hear it’s actually a decent purchase!
Nick - you’re right and I am looking forward to letting my 6 year-old loose on it and a painting application!
