Whiteboard Junkie & Figuring Out News
Perhaps this is more of a “true confession” than a work/news tip, but I’m a whiteboard junkie. I love to use the tool to figure out options for development, a user flow, or how to solve some process issue that can’t be understood until documented (in some way). My old Yahoo! and SportStations buddies can attest to this, too — I wore out some conference room boards.
The above example is me noodling with our development manager on the time-shifting of media (this specific example is TV). The last entry is boxee, which is a natural evolution in TV viewing.
What we’re working on is what’s the next viewing of news… and that’s a lot of whiteboard discussion. Some of it feels right, some not so much. But we’re trying (and succeeding, mostly) in many parallel paths.
