whiteboard anywhere

This is one of the best product inventions that we've seen in a long time. Paint that turns anything you want into a whiteboard. So you can go crazy with markers and draw flow charts and diagrams or write grocery lists on any wall you want. Entire walls. Ceilings. Anything that you can paint with the magic Tabrasa Idea Paint.

Visitors to NeoCon in Chicago this week (a big deal if you're a decorator or architect) will be treated to artist Phil Lubliner illustrating live at their booth in the show. Here's what's fun: whatever you tweet - he draws. Want him to draw "We (heart) Brand Flakes for Breakfast?" No problem. Just tweet it to @mdctabrasa and add the hashtag #mdctabrasa to the end of your tweet. My guess is that he won't draw phallic symbols or naked people, but you could give it a shot.

This is a product with cool opportunities. I want a brainstorm room that's painted from floor to ceiling in it. What about interactive public spaces? Let's paint the town white. Wait...that doesn't sound right...let's paint the town with ideas.

We tried this in a classroom I worked in a few years ago with the chalkboard paint. We painted the tops of all the desks with it. While it was a lot of fun most of the time it was so messy and a little distracting at some points on the desk tops.

Eh...
Rustoleum has had a Whiteboard paint out for at least 3 years now.

Darryl, this is so cool and I really enjoyed tweeting my idea. Thanks for sharing it. Now I can say that I was at NeoCon09 [as @cbwhittemore]! CB
