My husband's fav accessories are his pens. He takes lots of note for his profession and has quite a collection.
My daughter so generously and lovingly shared some of her photos with me while recently on the trip of her lifetime! I'm going to put together a book for her, so am having fun cropping and framing some of my favorites! This was so perfect for Fence Friday!
. . . and, as a side *note* . . . yesterday I met a new Flickr contact who has been feeding me with delightful music and fascinating clips from organists who specialize in the *theater organ* . . .
Please take a few moments to visit . . . the incredible Blackwood Arts with its gorgeous *theater organ* and grounds that feature a musical staff such as above (although that is not in this particular video) . . .
Of additional interest is
a fascinating video on the special effects of this phenomenal musical instrument.

It’s an early fall day, and Elizabeth is at a meeting with her therapist.
(Narrator's note: Elizabeth has always seen a therapist to help her with her feelings about all things Poppy, her sister Emily, Booley and Henri. You can find her Christmas card to Dr. Hall from 2014 here: www.flickr.com/photos/bogostick/15455617043/in/photolist-... \]
“Shall we begin?” Dr. Hall asks, readying her pen and notebook for the usual feverishly paced notetaking.
Dr. Hall looks up, waiting for Elizabeth to begin, but she adds one more statement: “Based on your shirt, it seems you may have something you’d like to get off your chest.”

This hammock installation went up near the Flatiron Building a while back. I honestly can't even remember not seeing it at this point-- which made it a bit weird when I went back recently and found it had been taken down.
Obviously, this was taken before that point in time. I suspect sometime in earlier December, but I've let shot-by-shot notetaking fall by the wayside in favor of my sanity. The Apoqualia-G handled this scene very nicely, and when I noticed the tell-tale blur in the corners I opted for a bit of a dreamer, softer treatment of this image.

Here is more from Jerry on his note-taking technique:
Two or three parallel vertical lines in the margin means "really important"!
I write "!," "wow" and "hm" a lot. ! and wow = insight; hm = skeptical of it
A ? in the margin means look into it more. I'm puzzled.
Super important pages: I'll circle the page number or (super duper important)
dog-ear the page.
All of this I do with an eye for when I return. I want to make the stuff I cared about jump off the page at me next time I'm there.

Attendance and note taking improve student performance. Generative processing: the student must listen, select important ideas, hold and manipulate ideas in working memory, interpret, decide what to record and then write.
When controlling for student initial knowledge, students perform best when given partial notes. There is also a noticeable increase in attendance and attentiveness. Reviewing notes is always an important element.

I'M WRITING A NEW BOOK! I'm working with Peachpit on The 30-Day Sketchnote Challenge. This will be book 3 in my sketchnoting trilogy, and it's scheduled to launch in early fall 2016.
Above is the new cover design in aqua, black, and orange, with new icons that represent the 30-day challenge:
What's the new book about?
-----------------------------------------
The 30-Day Sketchnote Challenge is different than The Sketchnote Handbook and The Sketchnote Workbook—it's designed to guide you through simple daily drawing exercises and mini-projects to improve your visual note-taking skills over a 30-day period. It's a directed, process-based approach that methodically improves your sketchnoting a little bit at a time.
All new content!
------------------------
This new book will feature all new content, including tons of tutorials showing you step-by-step how to create simple drawings that you can use over and over again in your sketchnotes.
We're running these how-tos along the bottom of every page throughout the entire book. I want to pack this book full of great, easy-to-master drawing tips to simultaneously help you build a fantastic icon library and boost your confidence in your own drawing skills.
Sketchnotes from around the world!
-----------------------------------------------------
Just like the Handbook and the Workbook, I'll feature the work of sketchnoters from around the world. I love inspiring readers by sharing the work from the many friendly and welcoming sketchnoting community members.
I'll be sharing a form in a few weeks where you can apply to be a featured sketchnoter in the book, so stay tuned!
Where did the concept come from?
----------------------------------------------------
I've been inspired by a few key experiences:
Keeping a daily logbook since January 2014. I've found that by doing little bits of sketchnoting every day, I see gradual progress in my thinking, creativity, and openness to new ideas.
Shawn Blanc's Focus Course.
The Focus Course helped me envision a step-by-step approach to improving sketchnote skills that's fun, practical, and delivered in small, bite-sized pieces that won't overwhelm you.
Teaching tons of sketchnote workshops.
I've been all over the world, teaching sketchnoting to hundreds of students. I've found that a methodical, layered approach to building skills is the most effective way to help non-artists feel comfortable and excited about visual note-taking. I can't wait to pour what I've learned from my workshops into this book.
I'll document my process right here.
-----------------------------------------------------
For The Sketchnote Handbook and The Sketchnote Workbook, I loved documenting the experience of writing them with updates, photos, and sneak peeks. Once again, I'll document the experience while creating The 30-Day Sketchnote Challenge, right here on the blog, on Instagram, and on Twitter.
The Dispatch will change a bit until the new book is complete. In order to focus on writing, I'm pausing the Dispatch format until September.
Thank you!
-----------------
Thanks so much for your support as I craft this new book. I'm excited to create a new way for people to enter into sketchnoting.
Network South East 47598 stands at the station having arrived with a service from Marylebone via Princes Risborough. Thanks to Wibble for I-D ing the station. I am afraid lack of notetaking back then means I can't identify a date but thanks to Steve Thomas for I-Ding it at probably the winter timetable 1990/91. I can't quite remember why there were class 47 substitutions on the Chiltern route but this would have been just prior to the introduction of turbos in 1991.
Updated 8/5/20: 1 pixel wide lines had swelled when I moved images , all 4 were distorted, so I started over with the parameterized version and removed all the color
Here's 4 sketch outlines of the 1996-1997 Porsche GT1 "long block", to use when recording the configuration of fuel, air, cooling, ignition, monitoring and oil system of any example. Its grey on white, so your own pencil, colored pencil, ink, highlighter, etc show easily.
Note this drawing omits the alternator, water pump, power steering pump, serpentine belt, engine oil scavenge pumps driven by the exhaust cams, coolant pipes not directly attached to the top of the "block", oil pipes external to the "block" and transmission. There is a truncated oil-line from the top of the crank-case headed for the oil tank. The oil and coolant header tanks and power-steering fluid reservoir are also not shown. The heat shields outside the cam boxes, protecting the spark plugs, their individual coils and primary wires, are not shown.
The top pair of outlines have the darkened surface finish on the cam box covers, the chain covers at the front of the heads, and the three flexible hoses covering joints in the cooling system's metal pipes. The oil line from engine to tank is also darkened.
This was a completely water cooled, flat-six 3.2 liter twin-turbo engine. Dual overhead cams on each bank of 3 cylinders operated 4 valves per cylinder. With ACO intake restrictors installed on the turbo compressor, it produced 600 hp. The street version made 540 hp with catalytic converters and mufflers, and an intake system similar to Turbo 993s
The external oil tank was 250-300mm (10-12 inches) in diameter and twice as tall as an waste-paper bin for an office desk. For the factory set-up, engine oil and transmission oil were pumped through oil-to-water heat exchangers, so only one radiator supply and return connection were required. Private teams often added a local radiator for transmission oil, fed from one of the rear brake cooling ducts.

While I usually try not to give away too much of a book, in this case I had to go into detail in order to offer a proper review. So you could consider this one to be spoilerous, even though, as you read this book, you'll probably sense from the get go how this one will end.
Ian McEwan
On Chesil Beach
First published in: 2007
This edition: Vintage 2008
ISBN: 9780099512790
Genre: fiction, drama
Pages: 166
Cover photography by Chris Fraser Smith; design by Suzanne Dean
So far this year, the book I have underestimated the most is, without question, ON CHESIL BEACH by Ian McEwan. Set in England in 1962, this sad, short novel is about young newlyweds (married only that morning) anxiously preparing for the inevitable 'next moment' in the rites of marriage: their wedding night.
I'll be honest and admit that my attitude as I started reading the novel was unsure and tentative; the phrase 'slightly dull' was prominent in my early notetaking. I even wrote down, and this is literally quoted from my notes: "Doubt I'll rec this one. It seems... insignificant. Wow. McEwan, insignificant. Sounds wrong..."
Next I'll admit that I did have it all wrong. I thought this book would be empty, without meaning. Several pages in, I didn't think I would feel anything in the end. Where was McEwan going with this one? ON CHESIL BEACH can easily be mistaken to be only an angsty cliche about The First Time. Allow me to demonstrate that it's more than that.
The word 'angst' doesn't do this one justice: ON CHESIL BEACH is devastating. The reader senses early on that in this book, sadness will prevail as the ruling evoked emotion.
"Almost strangers, they stood, strangely together, on a new pinnacle of existence, gleeful that their new status promised to promote them out of their endless youth - Edward and Florence, free at last!"
Florence (22) and Edward (23) - our newlyweds - are both under a lot of pressure, but only because they perceive themselves to be. They are now married and by all standards considered (or believe themselves) to be adults, but their new marital status only emphasizes how young they really are still, how unprepared, how wholly immature. They rejoice at being 'free' to do what they want, but they really aren't.
The evening begins in their hotel room, at the Dorset coast. McEwan masterfully describes the moments leading up to the inevitable; the tension is almost unbearable. Edward and Florence take their flavourless dinner in their room. The pressure increases with every bite. The reader almost feels like an intruder.
Meanwhile there are flashbacks that help us understand more about Florence and Edward as individuals (how they grew up) and as a couple (how they met). It helps us understand this particular evening.
"Where he merely suffered conventional first-night nerves, she experienced a visceral dread, a helpless disgust as palpable as seasickness."
Florence experiences physical disgust at the prospect of having to sleep with Edward, but she doesn't explain to him why. The reader gets (predictable yet) subtle hints as to what causes this resistance, so we know and understand, but Edward couldn't possibly. He just thinks she's frigid and tormenting him after a long wait.
Edward thinks (as did many men in those days), "She's my wife now" and infuriatingly believes he has a right to her (so give it up this instant, Florence). But there's another side to Edward: naturally he's scared in the way many men are when intimate with women. But instead of revealing himself to be afraid, Edward also keeps his insecurities to himself.
ON CHESIL BEACH isn't about eroticism; when McEwan describes sexual interactions it's in the context of fear, misunderstanding and that unavoidable social convention, which dictates that one isn't to talk about sex.
The only way I can put it is that Florence and Edward don't know each other intimately enough, emotionally; they are thus unable to be truly intimate, physically. It's a vicious cycle serving only to increase the distance between two people.
So instead of being truly independent, Florence and Edward both allow themselves to get caught up in a hopeless protocol (The Wedding Night must happen now and we're not allowed to discuss it amongst ourselves) as if it's in a rulebook somewhere, instead of allowing themselves, and each other, time. And true freedom.
The reader becomes irritated with their own, mutual sabotage, but more so realizes that it's too late anyway: Florence and Edward are doomed from the moment they said their I do's. Not only because their behaviour is strangely reminiscent of that of children who mess around with adult matters as if it's one exciting adventure, but also because they aren't open with each other. Because they're not brave enough.
Here I was thinking I wouldn't feel anything, but I actually cried when I reached the ending, wondering why I was surprised at my emotional response. After all, McEwan's ATONEMENT had really made the tears roll down my blotchy cheeks a few years earlier.
Lack of communication, lack of patience, lack of trust - together make for this heartbreaking story... Its 'rushed' ending was effective in that I felt the sadness even more this way.
"All she needed was the certainty of his love, and his reassurance that there was no hurry when a lifetime lay ahead of them."
The saddest part about ON CHESIL BEACH is that the reader knows that these two young people love each other very much. The devastating part is the realisation that the sexual revolution in the sixties was only a heartbeat away. If only they'd met a little later.
...if only they'd been brave. A loss is sincerely felt. Regret is palpable. Such a pity.
Much like some matters of the heart, On Chesil Beach is a book which requires a gentle approach and patience. Without this, there cannot be understanding.

Centre for Pedagogical Innovation hosted a discussion session on Friday December 7. Faculty shared things they tried new, what they hoped would happen and what did happen.
Major themes had to do with attendance, engagement and note-taking.
Some interesting innovative strategies seem to be working.
For example one very large class has tried something new this year by giving students a Manual. This manual includes all the PowerPoint slides but with very specific blank spaces to prompt when students should pay close attention and take notes.
A variety of recording, in both audio and video are going on in many classes. Some are screen recording uploaded to the LMS and others are simply using an iPhone to capture audio, making recording available upon request.
Whenever slides are made fully available, as recordings or even PDF, faculty are noticing dramatic drops in attendance, and those who are attending are taking less notes.
Some pointed out that students need to do something with the information to make meaning. Strategies like think, pair, share / small group / frequent low stakes quizzes or assignments (1% weekly) have helped.
In some of these cases attendance dropped when participation and discussion have been incorporated into the class, as if to imply the students are not pleased about being forced to interact with each other and the content, preferring to be passive in class. Many are using class as a time to catch up on Facebook, surf the web and tempt faculty to ban laptops altogether.
Accessibility concerns were raised about banning laptops as many students have legitimate requirement and only allowing students with special dispensation to use the laptops would "out" the special needs students.
We discussed creating a class code of conduct and how every single student has a right to learning in a distraction free environment and tying this to the overall code of conduct. Perhaps having students police themselves instead of making the faculty member the enforcer all the time.
Network South East 47598 stands at Aylesbury having arrived with a service from Marylebone via Princes Risborough. I have a photo of the train at Princes Risborough too but I am afraid lack of notetaking back then means I can't identify a date but I think it is 1989 or 1990. Does anyone know when the Chiltern line had these 47 substitutions in lieu of DMU to Turbos ?
As We're Here! being Copycats, I thought of our esteemed member and colleague, ♔ Georgie R, who often enough has shown us his fabulous penmanship and notetaking mania. To honor him, I dug out an old notebook of mine (sorry, not a Filofax). You can find many of George's notebook photos in his photostream.
JK had to write an essay. He needed help. I chunked the data for him, and we used part of the wall of one of the dormitories as our white-board. First we used Post-It® Notes to build a mind web or a mind-map of the issues surrounding the early hominids. Then, we re-arranged those Notes into columns and rows.
The first row is his introductory/thesis paragraph. Each line thereafter is a paragraph. Each Post-It® Note winds up being a sentence, or at least a clause in a sentence. The Notes can then be gathered into a 'function stack'. In a function stack, each Note with a paragraph-level info-chunk is marked with a star, and then the Notes are stacked, top to bottom and left to right. Once this process is completed, it's exactly like holding an outline, where you eventually hope to turn a set of semi-random notes into a coherent essay.
I'm going to lead a couple of mini-workshops on visual notetaking at RefreshPhilly tonight. These notes are my preparation for tonight. The first thing I'm going to do is give a little drawing instruction, using Ed Emberly as inspiration.

Last week we sent a bunch of Scout Books to SXSW in Texas with @rohdesign and @austinkleon for their Visual Notetaking 101 Panel.
These guys take awesome notes, and they designed this pocket notebook to offer you a chance to create beautifully illustrated notes, too. The cover features illustration exercises for better notetaking.
Count yourself lucky if you were at the panel and received one of these! They ran out right away! Collectors item.
