XKCD recently ran a cartoon pointing out some humerus/frightening Google trends as well as where they are most popular. While I tend to doubt the veracity of some of them, it sparked my interest, so I did some trend sleuthing myself. My focus was holidays.
Fall break turned into Christmas with the arrival of my new toy: an 8×6 graphics drawing tablet. It’s not got a display of its own, but it hooks up to my computer by USB where I can use it on the GIMP. I’ve already done some stuff with it, but I’m hoping to get better. As I use this thing more (if I get the time after classes start again), I’ll try to post some more of the stuff I do. And by all means, if you’ve got suggestions about how to improve (or even if you just want to tell me how bad these things are) please feel free to comment
