Ignite/Get Your Foo On: The Doodle Revolution at O’Reilly Foo Camp

Friday, August 13th, 2010 - Filed under Appearances & Interviews, PowerPoints, Spokesperson Sunni, Visual Thinking

For those of you who are aware of the Ignite presentation format, I probably don’t have to tell you how nerve-wracking it is. 5 minutes, 20 slides, 15 seconds per slide and you have zero control of the slide transitions. Hello. My worst nightmare as a presenter. To top off the format challenge, this particular [...]

Sharpie and my Residency as the Doodle Expert

Sunday, August 8th, 2010 - Filed under Appearances & Interviews, Explanatory Videos, Spokesperson Sunni

In my infinitely wise old age, I am rarely surprised by things life throws at us, but this project threw even me for a loop, in a wonderful, Willy-Wonka way. I got an opportunity to partner with a company that sells a product and a brand that is a match made in heaven for my [...]

Interview: On the Road with iV

Every year during SXSW, Lyn Graft produces On the Road with iV while Ingrid Vanderveldt interviews some of the SX panelists and presenters. I was pleased to be invited to join them and Ingrid asked great questions about my work, SXSW, and how to manage the inherent craziness that is the biggest event in Austin. [...]

Interview with Adobe CS Extraordinaire Deke McClelland and my Lovable, Slave-Driving Editor

I like to make the most of my work trips around the country, and evidently my editor at O’Reilly, Colleen Wheeler, likes me to do that as well. So while I was returning from a presentation on The Doodle Revolution, she asked me to interview on Martini Hour with she and her co-host, Deke McClelland, [...]

Foo Camp 2010 – The Doodle Revolution, Ignite-Style

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010 - Filed under Appearances & Interviews, Lights in the People Tunnel, PowerPoints, Visual Thinking

I was planning to write up a description of Foo Camp 2010 myself, but I decided to be more time-savvy and just use the content from Wikipedia, below. Suffice it to say that it was an honor to be invited and a pleasure to present The Doodle Revolution to such a stellar audience. Some highlights [...]

Dell Customer Advisory Panel – Austin, TX

Sunday, June 20th, 2010 - Filed under Graphic Recording

Dell recently did a very impressive thing: they invited influential bloggers who had ranted about their products and services online to come to their headquarters and have a real conversation about what they’re doing wrong and how they can do it better. It’s not easy to get feedback on things that matter the most to [...]

The Creative Series – Guest Blogging with the incredible Steven Pressfield

Friday, June 18th, 2010 - Filed under Appearances & Interviews

Thanks to Twitter, my visual book summaries of The War of Art eventually made their way around to the author himself, Steven Pressfield. According to him, he was “floored” by the work (and I then floored by extension) and he asked me to be a guest blogger for his blog series, The Creative Process. It [...]

PBS – ‘This Emotional Life’ Visual Series, Page I

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010 - Filed under Comics and Sketches, Visual Book Summaries

PBS released a documentary called “This Emotional Life” and I saw it and went to pieces. If I could narrow down one aspect of human education without which we all suffer, it would be the lack of education around emotional intelligence and emotional management. “This Emotional Life” discusses a broad range of the emotional trials [...]
