More Artwork (20091220)
So, here is my latest drawing done directly on my computer using the VisTablet.
I really like this thing, there are just a few things that bother me.
Currently, I haven't figured out how to limit the device to just one of my monitors on my dual monitor system.
This car took about 5 hours to complete.
New Tablet and Artwork
So last night I got a new digitizing tablet for my computer and started playing with it.

Here is one of the first drawings I made with the Tablet
Angry cartoon

Cornerstones of Trust
Spent the day at the Cornerstones of Trust Security Conference today in Foster City. Spent the day on the technology track.
In this track, they discussed Virtualization and Cloud Computing and the security implications of using cloud computing. I found the information regarding some of the new VMware security products that have been announced very interesting, now these were not VMware vendor discussions but rather the points of view of a technologies who is in the process of implementing them and following their products.
