To be honest, I really don't know much about flash photography. The bouncer came with the flash from an ebay seller last spring... I didn't like the head-on look of flash mounted directly to the hot shoe so I bought a Promaster TTL cord a month later. I just use the whole setup in manual mode since I don't like preflash and the bouncer changes the light output enough that neither TTL nor the on-flash sensor work properly. I guess the loss of TTL support with the K10D would make no difference to me.
I gather there are a lot of ways to diffuse the light but this setup was extremely cheap... all of $25, I think. At some point, I'll get something capable of high speed sync since I'm mostly interested in fill light.
Thanks everyone for having a look at my first image posted here!
