whiteboard walls
Friday, February 24th, 2006I put up these rolls of transparency-like material on all the walls in my office. The result: you can write on the walls — it’s like having a whiteboard on every wall. While it’s not perfect (i’d like to be able to write “anywhere” and not just on the sheets, it’s very very useful.
When we scope projects in my office, or I want to explain how a project will work, we’ll draw all over the walls, and then when we’re done, I sit down at my desk, and can easily look up and either code it up (or write it up more formally).
It’s also great for todo lists (your own, or others dropping by to put stuff on your list) and really great for just brainstorming. I love it!
