Boogie boarding
No, I haven't taken up surfing, just added a tool to my sketching arsenal.
The Boogie Board is an LCD writing tablet measuring 8.5". Its a paperless way to sketch, lightweight, portable and an easy way to capture ideas. I can't save images or words on it, but can photograph them. I think there is a newer version of this board out that has wifi capability but for quick sketches, this works well for me.
I have so many sketchpads and odd bits of paper lying around the house, this becomes one more way to draw. I can use a finger or the stylus that's included. With a press of a button the screen erases and I can start over again.
Here's a quick sketch of a puzzled looking dog done in about 10 minutes to give an idea of what drawing looks like on this device.

How interesting. I never heard of this tool, but will have to check it out. Although, so far I've been anti- technology as far as drawing with an iPad app. Others use the apps so well, but I think it's not for me.
They're always inventing something new it seems. I've drawn with a tablet (I use Android and don't buy into the Apple dream) app and that's quite useful if I'm somewhere that hauling out a sketchbook might be too obtrusive.
This way people think I'm working. ;)
