JotStudio is an application specifically made to the allow precision drawing using Jot by Adonit. The application lets you take note and draw in the application, arranging photos and other media around the drawing. While you can draw badly by hand, having a Jot or JotPro stylus is really your best bet.
While initial reviews of the App have been less than stellar, it is still worth the look. Adonit has some issues still to deal with in the App including the proverbial hand on the screen making marks or “Wrist Guard” as it is known. While the screen shot that Adonit provides for JotStudio shows a hand squarely on the screen of the iPad, this definitely will not work. We liked the potential of the program in spite of the flaws and there are definitely some parts of the program which are heading in the right direction.
JotStudio is normally a $1.99 App but is currently free until the end of this week. You can download JotStudio from the iTunes App Store at:

The Forty Column site has added a number of newly produced graphics to the site. The site features work by users using the T40 program by Brutal Deluxe (http://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/products/apple2/t40.html). The program allows you to create true old school forty column art. The Forty Column site is the brainchild of Daniel Kruszyna who put the idea of such an editor to Antoine Vignau of Brutal Deluxe. Days later, the new T40 program was ready and is now available to all users. Users of the program are also encouraged to submit their entries to the Forty Columns site.
Some of the latest entries available on The Forty Column site includes two entries titled “No Hands” and “Mauna Kea Summit”. Both were created with the software and are a great example of what can be accomplished with the program.
You can download the graphics as well as the program from the Forty Column site at:
