When someone asks a podcast guest a question and they say “Great question”. Every. Time.

(I really hope I’m not guilty of this but no doubt I’ll catch myself doing this all the time.)

I have a new little sketchnote roundup for people who like that kind of thing.

Idea I’m playing with in my head: secular holidays vs religious holidays.

The best example (the only one?) I can think of is Black Friday. I wondered about various international dates as well but Black Friday seems to have transcended national boundaries the best… and it’s all about shopping.

Clever but extremely dishonest marketing I found today. A competitor has made a service provider comparison site where you can submit your company. They put a big form at the top inviting you to get matched with a provider (them!). But there’s no disclosure of their bias and it was only after some internet snooping that I found it (there was something suspicious about the site).

A new sketchnote roundupfeaturing…Ted lasso?!?

Ted Lasso scene I love from season two “I’ve accepted aubergine and snogging but piles I will not abide.” And the later follow up which as a Brit, I will decline to share.

A solo sketchy conversation - My Sketchnote Origin Story (It was the whiteboards fault).

“It’s not that all NFT and Crypto stuff is scams. But at the moment most scams are around NFT and Crypto*.”

  • me, yesterday.

*Probably an over exaggeration. Most scams are probably picking on the elderly.

A new Sketchy Conversation with @rohdesign on How to improve your sketchnotes next year. I hope you enjoy it.

I just found out that Vin Diesel has a twin brother and I’m so disappointed that his name isn’t Tim Diesel.

I published a new sketchnote roundup with a drawing challenge from Apple including. I hope you enjoy it.

I had a sketchy conversation with @chadgmoore on visual thinking in the workplace (and beyond).

Can’t wait to organize some more of these!

So @chadgmoore has got me doing some rackets again. I’m starting a new series called “Sketchy conversations” about sketchnotes, graphic recording, doodling. Visual stuff. So if you’d like to hop on, let me know and we’ll arrange one.

My goodness tech companies PR tactics are awful.

I went to the office today and accidentally left my Macbook at home…Looks like I’m working on the iPad for the day! Whoops!

New profile picture?

Me: I think I will have one beer tonight and log it in untappd.

Untappd: LET ME POST FIVE TWEETS IN A ROW ABOUT THIS BEER SO EVERYONE THINKS YOU’VE DRUNK FIVE!

Untapped is more enthusiastic than Doug from Up.

So I rebooted the LCS newsletter (again) and it’s all sketchnotes, all the time.

I think this could be a fun way to do a newsletter. Let me know what you think.

Would anyone be interested in a newsletter that’s just interesting (content and style) sketchnotes I find around the web.

I’ve basically been sending this to @chadgmoore for a while in our private conversations and thought some other people might like it.
