Tech: The iPad wasn’t Apple’s original tablet; that was 31 years ago

  • In 1979, Apple released the monstrosity to the left. The graphics tablet, which is akin to carving out words in stone compared to something like a modern Wacom tablet, required you to put a special card into your Apple ][ desktop to use it, and even then only worked with a handful of programs. Neat little bit of history. source

Offbeat: ChatRoulette’s second celebrity: Speed illustrator Paz Bernstein?

  • While Merton was getting all of the attention, talented illustrator Paz Bernstein was hopping on ChatRoulette and drawing people live, on the fly, using a Wacom tablet. The fact that these illos are so well-done in such a short amount of time speaks highly of his abilities. And hey, now that Merton’s kinda faded a bit, maybe you can have a chance to shine, Paz. Oh, check out the dude’s portfolio. It’s pretty good and wide-ranging. source
