I've been dabbling with SketchBook Pro on my iPhone and iPad for over a year now. These are some samples I made on my phone (with my finger).

I guess I haven't posted here in a while. I don't have a lot to write about to update my blog on a regular basis. But anyway, I finally bought myself a new car, it's the first nice or even decent car I have ever owned and it's about time. It should be fun until the first snowfall that is. [...]

I have been dabbling with Sketchbook Pro (among other drawing apps) on my Mom's iPad lately. I have to say it's pretty fun to work with. Not quite a Wacom tablet killer, Sketchbook Pro has a few limitations, but it certainly has its uses considering the price difference between the two. Sketchbook just needs to support larger canvases and it'll be [...]

Mistletoe's Night is now available on Amazon Kindle. I don't own a Kindle so I'm uncertain as to how well it renders the pages or how well the illustrations show up in black and white. From what little I've seen from the 'preview' it should be okay. The text does run beyond a single page in most instances much like [...]

I've been monkeying around with WordPress for the last month or so. I think I now have a pretty good handle on its inner workings, so I've been able to make this theme a little more compact and unique from the pedestrian default look, of my old theme. Anyway, I may still make some changes to the graphics through the [...]

To find it, simply type 'mistletoe' in the search box in the iBooks app. You can also buy it as an epub file from Lulu as [...]

I'm home from my trip to Boston. My cousin's wedding (the site is no longer there) was quite nice with a great location; even my hotel room had a great view of the city. Anyway, it was nice to get away for a weekend and visit a place I had not been to in a long time. I took a [...]

Not much to write about these days. I really want to have more consistency with my posts but the reality is: I really just don't have anything to write about. Anyway, I am still trying to work on another book or two, but it's slow going; it's hard to get motivated. I have some other programming project ideas that I'd [...]

I finally made the plunge and bought a new camera, but this time went for a Canon SLR. It's only an entry-level model (Rebel XS), but it was a really good deal on Newegg.com; plus it came with a telephoto lens. I should have plenty of fun with it. At least now I can get back to taking pictures again. [...]

I just finished the last of the illustrations for the thermodynamics textbook I've been working on. Hopefully, everything comes through okay, and my part is finished. I can finally focus more time on my own book and other things. I've also been looking at getting an iPad to use as an inexpensive drawing tablet. I currently have a very serviceable [...]
