Doodle.ly Lets You Express Yourself Online With Sharpies

Expressing yourself in 140 characters or less is fun, but some long for personal expression that extends beyond Twitter or Instagram. Enter Doodle.ly, a new website that lets you doodle anything you want and share it with the world.

All you have to do is visit the website, choose your favorite writing instrument, and doodle away. Once you're done, you can share your creation on Facebook or Twitter. The color and width options are limited, but that'll change once the 5,000th doodle is shared.

Right now the service is web-based, but it'll soon make its way to the iPhone and iPad. It's cute, it's clever and brings you back to your elementary school days. What more could you want?

Perrin Ireland: More Science Sketchnotes

From scientificamerican.com:

Perrin Ireland is an artist who does this - turning the words, sounds, sights and smells of the event into cartoons. A couple of weeks ago she attended the World Science Festival in New York, where she live-drew several sessions. Two of those visual summaries we have already published here at ScientificAmerican.com - All about Stories: How to Tell Them, How They're Changing, and What They Have to Do with Science and The Bezos Scholars Program at the World Science Festival.

Here is the third, on Scents and Sensibilities: The Invisible Language of Smell. If you prefer just text, you can read the summary of the session by Greg Boustead here and the choice quotes from the event here. But if you are more of a visual type, just scroll down slowly....
