I spent a few hours with a Wacom Bamboo Fun over the weekend, and although I didn’t have quite enough time to give it a complete test, I was impressed enough to put it on my shopping list.

Features:

• Combines the benefits of pen and Multi-Touch input into one tablet
• Use a single finger for navigation and multiple fingers for gestures
• Simple gestures make it easy to scroll, zoom, rotate, move backward or forward
• Pressure-sensitive pen tip for natural pen and brush strokes
• Battery-free, ergonomic pen with two switches
• Textured work surface for a pen-on-paper feel
• Quick access to user-defined shortcuts with four ExpressKeys
• Attached fabric loop conveniently secures pen

The Wacom Bamboo Fun package also includes Adobe Photoshop Elements and Corel Painter Essentials, which is a great deal if you don’t already have them.

Netdisaster has been taken offline. Netdisaster was a brilliant site that enabled users to deface any site on the internet – not by hacking or editing the code, but by simply displaying various “disasters” over the top of it (e.g cow poo, chainsaws, crawling babies, vomit, UFOs etc). It was silly and childish, but it was also fun, and more importantly – it was totally harmless. But eBay, and to a lesser extent Yahoo, didn’t see the joke, and classified it all as a phishing attempt – which eventually forced the creator of Netdisaster to take the site offline. Read more about it here.

Although it’s not as much fun as defacing other people’s websites, Netdisaster still offer an ‘opt in’ disaster service – click the cow (above) for an example.
