Bamboo Fun is a tablet that accepts both pen and touch input. It also apparently accepts input from anybody with even the most rudimentary doodling skills.

With any luck (my luck, perhaps not yours), this will be the first of several digital doodles I create and share. Over time, I hope to see improvements and refinements in my artistry and technique.

Although I'm using a pen, it feels different than when I draw with pencil and paper (and I use the term "draw" loosely).

The good news is the bar has been set very, very low. Unless Wacom invents a shovel input device, the only direction from here is up (and possibly sideways).
