In his ongoing series to quickly teach himself new skills, Mike Boyd decided that he wanted to learn how to draw dotted lines on a chalkboard without having to lift the chalk off of the board. Boyd was inspired by the technique employed by MIT lecturer Walter Lewin and sought figure out his methodology.
I watch a lot of lectures online one of my favorite guys to watch is a guy called Walter Lewin from MIT and aside from being a fantastic physicist he also has another amazing talent he is able to draw dotted lines on a chalkboard with unbelievable speeds and crazy precision and it makes a pretty cool noise – next week I start a new lecture and job and I thought it would a good idea if I hit the ground running and impressed my students with a skill as well.
