  2. very, very cool... I think my class notes in junior high looked more like this- then my recent efforts. I've decided to try to take notes like this in class-- it's been helpful!

  4. Peter, Peter - this was one of the coolest and most innovative things I have seen done during a brainstorming session in years! I thought it might be distracting at first but after a while, he just blended into the background. At the end, he did an overview of each sketch which was a great means to review what had been discussed.

  5. I thought the visual presentation itself is really fun to look at and I admire anyone who is able to draw so quickly and still makes it look nice. However, I personally think it is too messy and busy. My thought process is very structured and organizated (e.g. smart art on powerpoint work well) and it is hard to find the important points in the colorful picture.

    In addition, I was wondering what would happen if someone who is not as creative (or just has a bad handwriting like me ;-)) started to draw. Would it still have the same effect or would it be less efficient, since less pretty to look at? Still, a very innovative approach to deliver a brainstorming session.

  6. WOW, dude! I wish I was as talented as you with the pencil, and could "learn by drawing" in class. This is definitely one of the coolest and most innovative things I have seen in months.

    The myth of innovation being done haphazardly is really that...just a myth. I agree with you that "structure" wins in terms of innovation. Keep up the good work!
