Sad that the creator now needs the creation.
You would think that after creating a successful game such as Operation, John Spinello would be a wealthy man. After all, it’s generated tens of millions of dollars for Milton Bradley and its successor, Hasbro, having been touched such cultural cornerstones as The Simpsons to Disney. But it didn’t.
And now, the creator of Operation is in need of an operation himself…but Spinello cannot afford the $25000 needed for his oral surgery.

As my friend Steve pointed out on his blog, a group of us were discussing the news about Benedict Cumberbatch being offered the part of Doctor Strange. And of course like any conversation regarding said actor, the name game immediately began:
- Benzine Charizard
Bandersnatch Cummerbund(I actually wrote “Cummerbund Bandersnatch”, but no worries)- Bumblebee Canadagoose
- Benedictine Camerastand
- Bandicoot Crabapple
- Barrelknocker Crunchlist
- Benghazi Corbomite
- Beezelbub Cocacola
- Boomstick Curtaincall
- Bubblegum Casablanca
And then added later on by me and Steve:
- Bumbershoot Cabbagepatch
- Beetlejuice Clydesdale
- Babbletongue Carbonation
And still added later by the group:
- Benedict Bumblesnatch
- Babyboots Cucumber
- Boobyhatch Cucaracha
- Butteredbuns Conflagration
- Bridezilla Chromium
- Bricabrac Cuttlefish
The fact that the actor takes it in stride is just proof why Bubbagump Cantaloupe is one of the finest thespians of his generation.

Without argument, Wacom is the king of graphic tablets and similar items. But that doesn’t mean that there haven’t been others taking shots at the top: in the Graphics Tablet Game of Thrones, we’ve had other competitors like PActive/Yutron/XP Pen (whatever name they’re using this week), AMZDeal (who has recently left the tablet business, but you can find their stuff around), and Yiyinova (which in recent years, has started to become known for their graphics business), not to mention a dozen other minor competitors, and, if you can manage it, your regular tablet (read: iPad, Android tablet, Surface.)
But now a new player has entered the scene: UGEE and, irritating website aside, their newcomer to the US shores: the UGEE M708. UGEE has been known for their work in European circles, and now they’re taking their game here to ‘Murica. We got the black model so we can review it (and, well, because Ayne needed a new tablet).
So, how does it stand up to Wacom? Let’s find out!
