  1. Yes! Of course; thank you WSJ. We must first know how to LOOK. “@StKonrath: Reviving the art of observation. bit.ly/LQYSVs” 5:38 AM Jun 2nd via Twitter for iPhone
  2. “@iamcodyjames: This is my elaborate drawing of a computer #NapkinAcademy @dan_roam twitter.com/iamcodyjames/s…” Awesome, Cody. Lovely drawing. 5:16 PM May 31st via Twitter for iPhone
  3. (I'd add George Lucas, but after 'Red Tails', Dear George must be removed from all lists.) 7:46 AM May 31st via Twitter for iPhone
  4. Think about it. Greatest creative minds of our time: Steve Jobs, James Cameron, JK Rowling. Create entire new worlds more real than our own. 7:44 AM May 31st via Twitter for iPhone
  5. Interesting that skynet.com redirects to telsat.com. #SkyNet is real -- and belongs to a company with no sense of irony. 7:40 AM May 31st via Twitter for iPhone
  6. Our greatest worry about #SkyNet isn't computers taking over; it's us convincing ourselves that computers draw better than we do. 7:32 AM May 31st via Twitter for iPhone
  7. “@katiedel: @mogarick @dan_roam I don't trust eggs.” And I don't trust apps that make things look "hand drawn." How about just draw by hand! 7:29 AM May 31st via Twitter for iPhone
  8. “@katiedel: I want to make a flowchart (a la @dan_roam )” 5) email to self 6) paste into Word, PPT, Keynote. 7) Presto: drawing you drew! 7:23 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPhone
  9. “@katiedel: I want to make a flowchart (a la @dan_roam )” 3) erase pencil 4) take photo w/ #JotNot app. (Cleans up and makes hi-contrast)... 7:22 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPhone
  10. “@katiedel: I want to make a flowchart that looks like I drew it. Tools? (a la @dan_roam )” Draw it by hand: 1) pencil 2) then Sharpie... 7:19 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPhone
  11. I didn't know I was using a crappy product until the creator told me. #camtasia @techsmith Weirdest ad in a long time. tiny.cc/tzm4ew 8:11 AM May 30th via web
  12. “@billder: @dan_roam Here’s that Facebook process flow. simplyrecipes.com/photos/sausage…” And Bill takes the cake! Your big prize is under the noodles. 12:19 PM May 29th via Twitter for iPhone
  13. 2 years in and I still cannot begin to guess what clicking something is likely to do. #facebook on iPhone makes no sense at all. 7:45 AM May 29th via Twitter for iPhone
  14. Anyone who can send me a process flow or info-arch plan of Facebook mobile that actually makes any sense wins... well, something big. 7:42 AM May 29th via Twitter for iPhone
  15. Okay: for you airplane fans, last update on Charlotte B-24 Liberator. They got the plane back up on all wheels and are prepping to tow. Yay! 3:10 PM May 26th via Twitter for iPhone
