etch-a-sketch!

9 July 2002

web-a-sketch is stunning, an etch-a-sketch connected up to motors so that it can be used remotely via the web. i tried drawing a house but it all went rather wonky when i hit the top of the screen. a feature to move the cursor to a given position and then shake the screen would be helpful.

what did we call the cursor in a etch-a-sketch? i don’t think i’d heard of cursors back then and i can’t remember having another name for it. my sister put her head through my etch-a-sketch, i’m not sure if i’ve forgiven her yet.
