[IxDA Discuss] Back to Basics

I got frustrated with Visio the other day, so I wandered around the
office looking for pencils. Lo and behold, there was a stack of
unsharpened #2's and an electric sharpener right next to it! I
sharpened a few (the last I did that was 7th grade, I think ...) and
set to work with a stack of typing paper.

Who knew that re-discovering ye old pencil-and-paper would be so
refreshing? Now I don't have to waste creative "sparks" on coaxing
Visio to give me what I want. Of course, I'm re-drawing it all in
Visio to make it look "sharp', but I'd rather wrangle with Visio when
I'm reproducing something rather than creating it.

Anyway, thought I'd share the happiness. Hope the IA Summit is going
well to those of you attending.
