Given the level of difficulty on the last assignment, and the difficulties of the submit and comment process, I thought it might be useful to get a couple of planners in a room and ask them what they would do when confronted with the same problem. So that's what I did. Said planners are Messers Richard Huntington and Mark Earls. Big thanks to them. Discussion inevitably ranged fairly wide and we probably spent more time talking about how to approach the imagined meeting rather than how to generate the content. But I still think there might be some useful stuff in here. Apologies for the rather loud air-conditioning noises, we recorded this in a nuclear submarine under the polar ice-cap and the scrubbers had to run at full power.
Thanks for that - it was very interesting.
One question though - if I have a blog that I treat as a scrapbook, does it negate the need to have a scrapbook?
I only ask because I'm lefthanded, and as such.. keeping a scrapbook may prove problematic. Heh.
I think keeping your ideas written down somewhere (or other people's) is a very good idea.

Hey Russell,
I have somehow missed or not paid attention to these exercises on your blog.
I just went through #13 and opened each of the submissions with your notes. What an amazing thing you are doing and what a valuable learning experience.
Just wanted to thank you for doing this and to say that I'm looking forward to participating in the next one. What a great idea!
Sean
