The Old Boy and His New Toys

Been spending no small amount of time fiddling with, and reading about, new graphic software and hardware.

That is when I'm not cleaning up after an overflowing toilet. What a nice way to start a day, eh? All better now. My tweaked back is improving too. Can walk without being bent over.

But I digress. :)

I noticed there's a sale on Painter X and Wacom tablets at the Corel website.

Promotion - Wacom & Corel Painter X Bundles (20% Off Sale) - Corel.com

And then there are the Cintiq's from Watcom. The tablet is the monitor. Off to get a lottery ticket.

Wacom Cintiq 21UX in Action - YouTube (The Big Taco)
Cintiq  - Overview - Wacom.com
Wacom Cintiq 12WX - YouTube

Looks like all kinds of fun stuff on YouTube.  Off to go play with the new concepts on my dinky Graphire unit.

How the Nebraska Democratic Caucus Sorta Worked in Omaha

Nebraska had its first ever Democratic caucus.  (To my knowledge.)  A first hand report.

Nebraska Caucus: Omayhem - Huffington Post

"A dispatch from my brother Dan from today's caucus in Omaha:"

[ . . . ]


"So I think I participated in Nebraska's first-ever Democratic Party Caucus. It took about two and a half hours. I feel sorry for any first-time voter who thinks that's how it always (sort of) works. I hope they don't require my e-mail address to make my blue slip count. Oh yeah, and how the hell are they going to count those things? I didn't stick around to find out."
