oh shit watch the fuck out tablets, THIS THING has arrived
The Inkling is a “digital sketch pen” that allows you to draw or sketch on any standard piece of paper (a big advantage over Livescribe, which requires special notebooks) and automatically have a digital version created. The pen looks like a regular ballpoint pen, but is much more powerful than that. As you draw, sketches, mind-maps, or brainstorms all get captured, and are available just by connecting your pen to the computer. You can even create layers as you sketch, and edit drawings even easier when you get back to the computer. Files can be accessed in applications like Photoshop and Illustrator, or just viewed on the computer.There’s also a receiver that comes with the Inkling, which is likely how Wacom was able to avoid requiring special paper. The receiver clips to whatever page or notebook you’re using, and requires an uninterrupted line of sight with the pen while you’re working. It could be a little kludgy, as the receiver is fairly large and is one more thing to carry and set up when you want to work. Battery life for the system, Wacom says, is more than eight hours of working time, which is a good number, but still means you might want to carry a normal pen or the charging cable in case you have a full day’s worth of sketching to do.

Want. I was just thinking about how awkward it is to use my existing pad. And how it collects dust because that’s how I like my stuff: dusty. Future investment fo sho.

I like these photos, and the sentiments expressed below. Creativity must be given a chance to breathe. Output must follow the organic ebbs and flows.

I’m going to be abandoning the idea of once-a-day photo uploads. I feel like trying to keep up with a daily schedule runs counter to and hinders my ultimate goal: to get out, to explore, and to document ideas, people, places. There are large stretches of time where I simply don’t photograph. I hate the idea of having to take a picture just to meet a “deadline.” So instead of a daily schedule, I’ll be uploading photosets as I complete them. This gives me more time to get out, stretch my legs, and really chase after an idea. I feel that sometimes the meaning of a group of photos is lost when they’re by themselves. When you have a whole string of photos, a whole narrative, you get a more complete picture, so to speak. Anyway, to get the photoset idea started, here’s a collection of landscape photos from the past year or so. I imagine I’ll be doing a lot more of these, as I’ve been more in tune with the isolation of nature than the community of the city.
i dig.
Wow. Nice.

My 2 cents, on Open Forum, about every person here that is in business trying to get attention or % of voice on Twitter.
Don’t Fear The Internet

Her playing was slow, almost stately. Too many people think speed is the hallmark of a good musician. It’s understandable…But how quickly you can finger notes is the smallest part of music. The real key is timing. It’s like telling a joke. Anyone can remember the words. Anyone can repeat them. But making someone laugh requires more than that. Telling a joke faster doesn’t make it funnier. As with many things, hesitation is better than hurry.
