Paint your Walls with Ideas

I remember seeing black board paint for the first time and being impressed by the concept. Write on the walls? Why not - loved the idea! However, a few "clapping the erasers" in middle school detention flashbacks and the thought of having chalk dust swirling around in the air during meetings made me hold off and stick with paper and pen for a bit longer.

But a couple of weeks ago one of my fellow innovationists saw something at the ICA in Boston that showed me how far along the broader concept had come. IdeaPaint, conceived by some college buddies during a brainstorming session, is a paint that turns any surface into a white board. Very cool!
