As I mentioned in my previous post, I really think that all of Wacom’s products ought to come with a simple travelling sleeve of some sort. While I’m not going to be carrying my Cintiq 12WX around every day, I really wanted something to store it in (even if it’s only to keep the cat [...]

I had to. How could I not? At the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, Wacom had a booth. Now, I’d scoffed after using one of their Cintiq 21UX’s while attending school. It was too big (and had to be re-calibrated every time I wanted to use it since it was a shared device). I didn’t like the idea of being tied to a desk. I’m a sketchbook doodler, and I generally work not much larger than 11 x 17″. I want to be drawing in my lap, possibly even while sitting on the floor. I’m a little notorious for getting into strange seating positions (one of which prompted my friends to force me to watch Death Note just because of the character “L”). Anyway, while I was at the Expo, I asked one of the nice booth attendants if I could hold the Cintiq 12WX (since they only had the 21UX’s and Intuos/Bamboo models out for people to use).

Dropbox is something that I’ve been sharing with my friends over the past… quite some time. While the technology that it employs isn’t new – the synchronization and sharing of data – their execution is flawless. At least, I haven’t found any flaws yet… well, flaws that aren’t in direct relation to my connectivity speed at the time. ;]

Meet Moogle! Aron and I ended up adopting a cat from the City of Calgary Animal & Bylaw Services folks. We’ve had her for approximately a month now, and she’s been fitting into the household perfectly. The first night we had her, she woke me up at 3 AM because she was hungry (I’d only given her a little bit to eat because I was unsure as to how much she had eaten at the shelter). Now she only insists on waking us up to cuddle after our morning alarms have gone off.

Hello 2010, and welcome! Like many others I’m feeling rather obligated at the moment to write up my own rendition of 2009: A Year in Review, or even A Decade in Review. So much has happened really. I blitzed through high school, then post-secondary education, and now here I am.
