Airmov iPad App for Stretching Hands

Airmov is an interesting app.

It's meant to help to prevent repetitive stress. If you already own an iPad, it can't hurt to try it!

Airmov pings you throughout the day to remind you to stop working and give your hands a "stretch break," which the app provides via the iPad's multitouch display. You spread your palm onscreen and then press your fingertips down with gently increasing pressure for about 15 seconds as a progress bar fills in.

Design Inspiration Tuesdays!

This site is focused on Wacom tablets, but as a graphic designer, I'm interested in art as well of course. I'm constantly looking for inspiration online and in life so I thought it would be nice to show art that can be created using Wacom or other tablets. Hopefully you'll be inspired too!

The theme today, which was unintentional, is "romantic"? Er, that's the best I can think of to describe it.

Matthew Inman, The Oatmeal humorist, Interviewed

One of my favorite cartoonists/humorists, Matthew Inman, answered questions written by his fans.

“The Oatmeal” creator Matthew Inman proved very popular while chatting with Post readers/viewers, discussing everything from the “curse” of being asked to draw cats! cats! more cats! to why he relies on vector drawing. (Plus, off-topic, he noted his exercise regimen away from the Wacom tablet that allows him to indulge in the occasional Baconator.)

Asus BP121 has the Ability to Work with Absolute Software's LoJack

Asus Windows tablet adds Computrace LoJack security features

Asus announced a Windows tablet designed for business users, featuring a TPM (trusted platform module), Computrace LoJack readiness, and the Windows 7 Professional operating system. The Eee Slate BP121 includes a 1.33GHz Core i5 processor, a 12.1-inch display with 1280 x 800 resolution, a Wacom digitizer, solid-state storage, and a Bluetooth-interfaced keyboard, the company says.

Many vendors of Windows 7 tablets leave it up to the buyer's imagination as to whether the devices would be suitable for the enterprise. Asus, on the other hand, emphasizes the BP121's business credentials, citing a TPM, the inclusion of Windows 7 Professional (with domain join functionality), and the ability to work with Absolute Software's LoJack solution.
