…yes yes I know, it’s been a while since I posted anything around here. No excuses other than my full time job keeps me busy – oh and there has been a couple of side projects as well as company mergers, book deadlines, summer, family…I suppose those all might be taken as excuses huh?
Well, as summer grinds slowly to a halt, I plan on getting back into the blogging thing asap. In fact, I am writing an article about my reasons for buying an iPad and my initial experiences using it. In fact, I am writing this in an airport terminal waiting to board a relatively long flight which is the reason I bought an iPad in the first place. I have a very difficult time using a laptop in coach for several reasons;
- I’m 6′3″ and can’t angle the screen far enough back for me to see it properly.
- As a digital artist/animator I always use graphics tablets. Try fitting a 15″ MacBook Pro and a Wacom tablet on a tray table.
- Fear of turbulence causing my neighbor’s beverage to end up across my keyboard.
Hell, it just ain’t worth it.
This will be my maiden voyage with an iPad with hopes of actually being productive beyond catching up on sleep. Since posting Facebook updates about my initial ipad experience, I’ve received several questions about how the iPad compares to the Wacom Cintiq. The reason for the comparison is because I purchased a Pogo stylus to use with my iPad for drawing and sketching using some of the various drawing apps available.
Can the iPad be incorporated into my daily production workflow? Boarding has started so stay tuned for my full opinion about the iPad.
