Tom Buchheim started a blog about sports and social media. It's a good read and I was honored to doodle up the header for him.

Dr. J.
I picked up a Wacom Bamboo tablet today. This is my first experiment.
Dr. J. is the first forward in team history to average a double-double in the intramural league. His secret is clouded in a gordian knot of string theory, eigenvalues and methamphetamines.

Testing Sketchbook Express
I started kicking the tires on Sketchbook Express. It seems like a really nice little tool. I had fun roughing this guy in. I've always wanted to learn to speed paint on the computer and this seems like a good tool to start practicing.
The big question for me is this: do I get a nice Wacom tablet or should I spring for an iPad…or both? Ugh. My bank account is recoiling in horror as we speak.

Mandatory Renaissance Mondays
For those of you in Pittsburgh and Green Bay enjoying your “wear your jersey to work” day, remember that management is setting a precident. One that can (and probably will) go horribly, horribly wrong.

Write drunk, edit sober
While not the best advice to give an alcoholic, the spirit of the phrase is a great way to defeat writer's block.
Not all of your prose will magically flow onto the page in perfect order. So just write something, the crappier and more senseless the better. You'll find it self-correcting, starting to flow. Go with it until it seems like you're forcing things. Then stop.
You can always cut and paste later, move it around. Read it out loud and say to yourself, "wow, what was I drinking?"
Just show up at the page.
