Dudes! I was just at Word on the Street here in Toronto and I totally used the Frankenhand! I’ll try to get the image scanned in the next couple of days and get it up here. One of the demo people asked me if I wanted to try it and I said, “No thanks… I call it the Frankenhand and it kind of creeps me out.” He said, “That’s not original, I’ve heard that before.” I said, “Oh, where?” He said, “A website.” I said, “Bookninja?” He said, “Yeah.” So I told him I was Bookninja and he cajoled and I acquiesced and next thing I know I was writing away. Then he interviewed me for a documentary he was doing and I really couldn’t find anything bad to say. It’s quite an invention. I was surprised to find the user interface so simple. It’s like it’s fool proof….. (wait a minute!?!) More when I get back to St. John’s. I’m not really getting enough oxygen to blog properly in this urban pea soup air, so I’ll try to post tomorrow, but it might have to wait until Tuesday when I hope to get a scan of my Frankenhand signature up.

Very cool!
(especially the part where you got to say, “I am Bookninja.”)
We didn’t have the Frankenhand at WOTS Halifax, but we did one of the most astonishing hands I know of – attached to the body and brains of SETH!
And, since I was breathing fresh (however foggy) salt air, my pics are up. If you want to see ‘em…

I was cajoled into trying this at the Toronto book fair by Atwood herself – and you know, it was kind of fun in a frankenhandish way. The funniest part, though, was walking away from my Jarman-esque Margaret Atwood moment and realising I was carrying my own autograph.

Ah, glad that someone got to see it, let alone use it.
I couldn’t push my way through the crowd to actually see what the franken…ummm, LongPen, looked like
