Pulling the Plug on Myself
Everyone here seems to have gone back about their business with maybe one eye on the big hand in the sky that could at any moment descend to pluck them from these pages... well, almost everyone has that foreboding... there are a few who have questioned whether they will be staying....
Wacom Videos
Last month I flew out to Oregon to meet with the terrific people at Wacom who had set me up with a new Intuos 4 tablet and encouraged me to learn all about its features. I have to admit, I never have been excited by the buttons on any of my previous tablets, but this one really changed that for...
