The Boy has a new Toy

An Intuos3 6×8 Graphics tablet. Yes, the Boy finally gave in to Temptation.

First day, playing with Photoshop. Back to the basics!

Okay, so I’m learning how to use a graphics tablet effectively. But right off the bat, this seems like one of the best investments in computer peripherals I’ve ever made. It’s slightly more tiring than a mouse as of now (with 4 hours of use), but the full-arm movements will definitely save my hand from being amputated due to RSI.

Peculiarly, you know what writing with the pressure sensitivity reminds me of?
Writing on an ATM receipt (you know, the ones that you can scratch on to leave a mark). Not surprisingly, those are pressure sensitive too.
