    This would be total win if it actually could Etch-A-Sketch. Grossly impractical, but still a win

    @matt_mcmhn: Between the lack of it actually working and it being called "i-sketch" it is an unfortunate two strikes. That is not to say it is "out", it is just in a sketchy situation. On my just made up on the spot scale of "would purchase for non-iPhone owners only to piss them off" to "must acquire before being being served as the main course at a cannibalism convention", it is probably closer to the former than latter, unfortunately.

    Wait! Did you know that there's a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity? Think about it.

    @GitEmSteveDave'sAPeacefulMandalorian...:

    Indeed. In my neighborhood, we're going on 45 years now of ever-spiraling gang warfare, with the inner radius Hypotrochoids drawn in deadly turf battles against the outer radius Epitrochoids.

    Talks to unify all gangs as HasBro's have only gone in circles.

    (Sorry it took me so long, GitEm, I was asleep at the wheel.)

    (And by wheel *clears throat* I do not mean Apple's fabled new product.)

    @FooSchnickens: Good catch. I missed that the first time. I'm sure lots of other people caught it. As soon as you said that, I knew who wrote this article: Jesus Diaz. I scrolled to the top and sure enough his name.
    I wish we could all chip in and buy him a proof reader. Does he not have any friends that would be willing to proof his articles?

    I'm using this neat little gadget called a computer. It lets me draw circles that doesnt involve turning a plastic little wheel. Its really cool. This guy should give it a try.

    edit: Painfully turning a wheel I might add. That looks like it took way too much effort.

    He thought that that poor excuse for a circle justified creating a video demonstration of it? More like an Etch-a-Mess.

    Utterly useless to me. What I need is a way to be able to draw squares with my Spirograph.
