Deck from the Sketchnotes-SF meetup, in August at Neo [http://www.neo.com/]. We discussed what makes an *awesomenote*, then had 3 rounds of capture and iteration of a short TED talk. Lots of intentional learning and rapid improvement. Woot. Details on the meetup at: http://www.meetup.com/Sketchnotes-SF/events/223975449/
