How’s this for a piece of zeitgeist? I posted yesterday about Dan
Roam’s book The Back of the Napkin. Overnight, he picks up a Google
Alert about my blog post and in turn, comments – and posts a very nice
response in return. Might need to look at updating my sketch to map the
ongoing impact…. -
A portrait of the artist as a book buyer

This modern world our ours works in mysterious ways. The Guardian
newspaper (the London one, not the San Francisco Bay Guardian one where
I started my career twenty years ago, nor the Moscow Guardian one where
I served as Art Director fifteen years ago) asked me last week to write
an article about my book and visual thinking. -
Dan Roam’s “Back of a Napkin” approach to visual thinking (and how I bought the book).

Dan Roam’s “The Back of the Napkin” book about visual thinking is a

I always suspected that Google was designed on a napkin…

Turns out I was right. Click here for the WSJ video. Thanks Arnie for
pointing me towards this WSJ clip with Tim Armstrong of Google drawing
out the company’s vision on a napkin. According to Tim, Google has been

presentation) for seven years, and plans to continue refining it for at
least another five. -

The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with
Pictures, by Dan Roam. i was really disappointed with this book. i tend
