I'm playing with a $25,000 Oscilloscope. Fuck all if this isn't the prettiest toy I've ever played with.
//Stock photo of a similar scope, can't (shouldn't) snap a piccy of this one...

I actually tried this on my old HP54100D. The lesson learned? Old School digitizing scopes were for shit. Sold it shortly after.

Looks sweet.
I have a pair of brand new Sony MDR-7506's on my desk..I've never owned a pair of *real* headphones before so I'm getting my mind blown here, they sound fantastic.

I have a 1/47 Ferrari F50 miniature, radio controlled. Pretty nifty toy for playing with the cat. And my new company business cards arrived.
(Note that I designed the business cards and the design is valued at around $25,000  )

I would have assumed $50K. I guess you have to go with the markets sometimes...

Visualize a desk with scattered lock parts, about 30 pens, a DeWalt battery charger, an inbox that's full, a half dozen unread industry magazines, a micro scanner, and tax papers in between everything else...

It actually isn't that practical. You'll either get a sore neck from looking down if you position it for your hand to be comfortable, or get a sore arm from reaching up if you position it where you can see it without looking down. Either way your hand and wrist obscure what you're working on. You're better off getting a nice monitor and a Wacom Intuos tablet. You get used to the indirection between pointing at the tablet and moving the pointer on the display pretty quickly.

Yes, these are legitimate concerns, but you'll have all these problems drawing on paper anyway. Actually what worries me most, is the possibility to scratch the screen (on daily use) and the fact that seems to be some lag going on (at least in the Dilbert video), it could be a problem in the pressure detection.
The Intuos tablet seems cool (and cheaper), mainly for who is already accustomed to using a mouse, I used some similar devices and I love it. But I was thinking of gifting one of these to my father (I'd use it too, of course), who is an excellent draftsman but started to use a computer just last month, so the learning process and latter serious use would be more intuitive with the monitor (if it really works as advertised).
Anyway, I'll think very well (and test it) before buying anything since it isn't a cheap device.

Interesting video, but I really don't like Dilberts art style... it's funny that he needs to make a draft for such a simple draw...

It's okay because it's also missing its front lens. One of our workers dropped his camera and broke the lens. I haven't yet found out if it's worth getting fixed.

Hearing today that a certain person employed by a company that created a certain game has not had much success with his new Cintiq 24HD:
