One of the highlights of VizThink 09 was seeing two talks by Dan Roam, author of "The Back of the Napkin".
On the left are my notes from his talk, "3 Rules of the Whiteboard". Dan is smart, funny, and a really nice guy.
We had a talk about my name. When I told him I was named after John Glenn - the astronaut/senator/astronaut was in orbit at that time - he got excited and said, "I'll have to draw a spaceman in your book then!"
He then drew a little astronaut in a mercury spaceship for me... very cool!
Dan does his presentation on a tablet pc - demonstrating that most ideas can be communicated with simple graphics.
