Art Update and The Low End Techie

DD Sample Pages, something I work on to start the day right :)

I miss drawing like this! I'ts been ages since I've been asked to work on something that's black and white.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I'm a low end techie. I've accepted that. Whenever I get to buy stuff I tend to look at the lower or entry level stuff first. Why? That's because I used to buy the mid to high end stuff only to find out that I'm not really using the features that I paid for.

I've been burned a couple of times by this habit, my fiancee can attest to that. I've bought stuff that I'm not completely happy about and I've destroyed some pretty expensive gadgets while trying to mess around with their firmware (and no, I'm not good at that. I just follow tutorials) But the habit sticks and for some weird reason I'm proud of it and that's because I like hacking stuff or finding work-around solutions to problems so that I don't pay for them and then feel like a sucker in the end. 

The high end stuff I consider as tech demonstrators, platforms to show what manufacturers can do. I find that most people I know seldom max out the potential of their gadgets. But its a personal thing and if you want the high end stuff that's great and all but I would rather think about what I want to do with my gadgets before making a purchase  because we pay for those fancy specs and if we are not using them we are wasting money.
