Slight Excitement

I was over at a close friends last evening and he inadvertently reminded me that I’d always meant to pick up a graphics tablet, especially since my scanner exploded about 8 months back, but I’d never really had the inclination or motivation to do so.  So anyway, this evening I picked up a Wacom tablet after work, and I’m really very impressed.

Incredibly derivative (of myself) and entirely uninspired, but I just doodled that familiar shape as a little bit of an experiment.  Just to see how it felt.  Very very happy with the results, it really could’ve just been pen inked and scanned and with any luck it’ll give me that bit of a kick to finish off a few projects I’ve had in the works for what literally must be years now.

I’ve been doing a lot of reading around Microsoft Surface recently, I’ve got some amazing ideas and concepts for the platform presuming they manage to make a consumer oriented product in the next 2-3 years.  I’m probably going to start concepting out some software and a few little spikes now.  May well be my next “big thing” and I hope to drive my career in that direction over the next couple of years.  It’s just WPF, C# and Vista in the end…
