yes, indeed.  The only real source of amazement here is his fancy input toy...

I thought only He-man animators in the past used such cheap trick! ;)

even the open-source inkscape warps the text.  Speaking of which, this was done
with no fancy input other than the mouse... inkscape's caligraphic drawing tool
is getting better by the day... much better than GIMP's... :)

Indeed. And given how much I suck at having ideas, I think I should just 
forget the whole thing right now...

  I think that the difference between a tablet PC with touchscreen and
a graphics tablet with an LCD is that the latter is much more accurate
and has extra properties (such as detecting pressing strength and tilting).

If the tabletpc has a wacom digitizer (and most do), it has pressure 
sensitivity.  Not as much as the Cintiq; 256 vs. 1024...and if one had 
tilt sensing I would be all *sha-wing!* and buy it.

Mine does, not that I do enough artwork for it to make a difference. The 
protective glass is thick enough that I'd expect it would be an effort 
to get used to doing it for art. It's almost difficult to pick out 
letters on the on-screen keyboard reliably. You have to watch the cursor.

For me the hardest part is finding time to do it. I have many projects in my
head and nothing to show for it  :-P

Like anything else, it just takes practice.  The more you do it, the 
better you are at it.

Besides, looking through the archive of Ctrl-Alt-Del, the first few 
months weren't worth reading, anyway.  He took some time to find his 
stride; what makes you think you wouldn't, too?

Are you *kidding* me? This is the most advanced thing I've ever seen! o_O

The thing that struck me is how often he redraws stuff...

You should replace o_O by (oYo)

  Clearly you have never used an image manipulation program to its full
extent. Even the Gimp has many of the features showcased in that video
(although, admittedly, some of them are not as easy to use).
