Bamboo Fun!

When you get your first Apple computer, you step into our realm knowing that you are purchasing one of the best creative machines known to man. It comes with a slew of creative based software in the form of the iLife Suite. To get more for your creative fix there are many Mac user support pages with loads of Shareware and Freeware to download for your beautiful new mac. But for those of you who are true artists and want to bring out your creative side right on the screen, have we got a tool for you!

Its called the Bamboo Fun Tablet by Wacom and it is just what the title says it is. This fun tablet comes in multiple sizes and colors ranging from 4×5 inch and up. These little gems give you the ability to draw right up on your screen with the aid of a pixel or drawing based program. Whatever your fancy is, whether it be Photoshop CS3, Photoshop Elements or a free program like Tablet Draw, you can use your Bamboo to draw out pictures, write notes and even edit photographs. With the 4 programable buttons and the built in scroll pad, it makes it easier to cut, paste, and undo any of the work that you just created.

For those of you who are looking for a bit more of a professional edge, the Wacom Graphire or Intuos3 lines may be more for you, but to those people who are looking for a little fun in an old school way, pop in to your local Small Dog Electronics retail store and pick up a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet for your Mac and start drawing.

  • Protecting Your Photographs

    Let me ask you a few questions: Do you have a digital camera? How many megapixels does your camera shoot? How many years and how many photos do you have on your computer? Now imagine this… tomorrow morning you wake up and turn your computer on. It boots slower than normal and all you see is a flashing question mark on a gray screen. Your heart drops and you start to think about all of the memories that made up your iPhoto library.

    The purpose of all this is to get you thinking about how many pictures you take every week and what would happen if one day you lost all of them. Could be 10 days or 10 years of photos; either way your losing all of those precious memories. Your best solution is to backup your files. The key to a true backup is to have your files in two places. My suggestion is to purchase a pair of identical external hard drives. Several hard drive units ranging from 250 gigabytes to 2 terabytes are becoming more and more affordable.

    When you’re finished with your photo shoot, birthday party or vacation, store your photos on your computer and then back it up to your external hard drive. It may also be good to store your external hard drive in a different location than your computer and pull it out once a week to backup your new work. I like to go one step further and backup my backup. My setup includes my MacBook which is backed up onto an external hard drive which is then mirrored to a second external hard dive. This allows me to delete some photos off my MacBook to free up space while still leaving my photos on two different locations.
