THIS is what a list of "words of the day" should look like.

Inkscape is awesome

Every so often, an open source tool turns out to be really, really good.

If for any reason you're looking for a vector drawing program, have a look at Inkscape. It's new-ish and has a few stray weirdnesses, but only a few. And it comes with excellent tutorials, it looks good, and they've thought hard about making it ridiculously capable but still very usable.

And a lot of the results are quite pretty, which is a plus. Artists seem to actually use it.
