  Wow, Joe, this is amazing. I’m going to try paper prototyping with the video teams. Mocks are so 20th century, paper prototyping is where it’s at!

  Cool, but I believe many of us already know what paper prototyping is, I think it’d be more interesting to have included the waitress using it after your explanation.

  BTW this site was the end product: http://cesardev.bro.yahoo.com/diadospais/

  What we’re doing right now is a blend of what you’re talking about. We have printed pages from visio, then we have cut-out elements (make sliders, dropdowns and whatnot) to place down when a user ‘clicks’ on an interface element.
