I
really like my new tablet! I forget how much or how well the 101
tablet meets my needs. Dianne once indicated how pleased I looked or
how satisfied I seem to be with the tablet to the point where she
volunteered to get me one when I inadvertently destroyed one of my
tablets a number of years ago. I really enjoy the ability to use the
tablet to surf the Internet, be able to look things up immediately no
matter where I'm at and I really have a drawing program that works
just fantastic. And of course the speech to text function is
profound. Even if I didn't use the speech to text as much as I do
10.1 also has a great keyboard which I've used to actually type, hand
type, blog entries as well as kid letters. The camera front and back
is exceptional I just can't say enough about the Samsung tab a, 10.1.
I'd be great if my blog was monetized but alas I'm not using this
space to make money. My readers are so few as it is I would not want
to do anything that might jeopardize my relationship with you guys. I
do appreciate you dropping by.
Today
was the best day we've had in a number of weeks. The temperature
inched toward the 80s with lots of sunshine little to no wind perfect
for sitting out by my van. I did actually read for about an hour
today before Terry Gross and Fresh Air on NPR. But I spent a couple
of hours today drawing trying to clean up my homework a little bit. I
was finally able to darken the lines on the boxes with the straight
edge and to glance at it quickly the assignment looks fairly
acceptable. My goal is not to make great works of art but to learn
different aspects of the drawing exercise—which I'm doing. Tonight,
I plan to spend a little more time cleaning up the document then
again it and the clipboard into the portfolio which is always a task
but I've learned that I need to do that now as opposed to trying to
do it tomorrow morning before the buses going to be at the bus stop.
Last Thursday was a nightmare I can do better than this.
Not
that you asked but the high point of my day, if indeed there was a
high point of my day, was I a got a vision of what might work with my
drawing. Again, probably decades ago, my dear ex-wife Dianne got me
these round foam devices for people with limited hand function. I
took one and used it immediately on my shaver which is worked great
over the years I had another one kick it around and I root for this
afternoon and found it and slipped it on my drawing pencil and you
know what!? The son of a bitch worked! I can actually hold the pencil
in my hand like a real person and make marks on the paper then later
on color them in. I didn't use this device on the current assignment
but I think I will start considering it on what other assignment
three might get. Going to see if I can get more of these round foam
pieces to use it by other drawing apparatus. Walmart I believe are
some of the artsy places most likely have some if not I could get
some through by occupational therapist that would take forever. So
I'm kind of excited. I've drawn a little bit with the device another
pig, I have a couple great therapy pigs. Not bad for a Monday…
