Was testing drawing apps with the Pencil the other day and figured I'd finally try one of these paper-texture screen protectors. It's really nice! The effect is more subtle than I expected, but it does help write more naturally; it's the first time I find my old handwriting back on a tablet. (And, god, I'd forgotten how much slower writing is than typing. I used to enjoy taking notes in class — long before laptops — but who has the time for this when keyboards exist?!)
Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
