Hi, I'm Michael Mistretta, a student passionate about technology, photography, and design. Welcome to my online home where I write about technology, reviews, and my thoughts and opinions on technology-related matters. 
After writing about some photography tools yesterday, I decided to go out and buy a Wacom Bamboo tablet from my local camera store. While I have not used it extensively yet, I can already see that it is an amazing product. Currently, I am using it as a complete replacement for my mouse. My MX Revolution has been put aside for now, so I can test the Wacom Bamboo exclusively for a couple days. So far, I’m loving it
It is very easy to see the strengths of this over a mouse. Just opening Photoshop or ArtRage will allow you to select items and paint with such precision that would never have been possible with a mouse. At first I thought it would be difficult and clunky to navigate, however, I have found the opposite. For drawing, sketching, and handwriting this tablet shines. It has a small, portable form factor, and looks and feels great as well.
After I play around with it this week, I plan to write up a review on it’s strengths, it’s weaknesses, and what features I find myself using the most. For now, you can check out my Flickr set with some of the unboxing photos.
Do you find it odd when you are drawing because you have line up your hand with the screen

It’s weird at first but after a while it becomes 2nd nature.

I’m left-handed. Do you think the experience will be similar, as in easy to navigate and clunk-free? I’m seriously thinking about buying this.
