gotcha. i was aware, but doesn't apply to my current circumstance.

is that the motivator for most, then?

Racial segregation is a stretch. They do not block you from subscribing if you're not black.

I see Piccirillo's paper was published in the Annals of Mathematics in February. Anyone know if Conway got to see it before he passed?

sent you an email!

Paper in my experience can get messy real quick. Example - When drawing a diagram of some process it is common for me to want to tweak and reconfigure things to arrive at a solution. With paper, it requires you either erase, scratch out, or re draw the diagram with your desired changes on another page.

What I love about marker boards is the ability to freely draft and modify on the fly without worry. When I want to commit ideas to "storage", paper works best :)

I've struggled for years to articulate my ideas and express things clearly, 'specially when it comes to challenging technical problems. One day, I randomly bought a tiny 12" x 5" whiteboard while I was at the dollar store, with the intention of using it to keep a physical todo list.

I eventually reached for it while in the heat of a challenging debugging session with some colleagues, and was surprised with how much it helped me solve the problem at hand. It quickly stopped being a todo-list after this incident. Turned out my inability to articulate things effectively was not because I was stupid, but because I am a predominantly visual thinker.

The fact people are working on tools like this excites the hell out of me!
