I turn my DS into a sketchbook and give (the collective) you squids, failed webcomic panels and plastered (but not by the bottle) women.

Not all in one narrative, unfortunately.

Here's how it went: on a vacation to California, during which my wife and I saw 4 beaches in 6 days (and walked our asses off), we stayed with a very cool couple. The husband, Oliver, works for Blizzard--as in the software company that produces a few of the MMORPGs that eat your life.

As well as having a very cool tablet / desktop setup, he told me about Colors!--a program that, with the proper appliances, can transform a Nintendo DS or DS Lite (not the DSi just yet, though) into a fairly capable paint-ish application. He let me try it out and I very drunkenly drew a profile of Abe Lincoln before an American flag. Oliver saved it, but I don't know why.

Because I am too cheap to have purchased a tablet or capable computer to run one on yet, I'm having a blast with this little DS mod. It means I can draw during lunch or after work without having to dig out a slew of pens, pencils, or pages.

Ah, sweet convenience ...
