I attended a talk yesterday at Cornell, part of the distinguished lecture
series. Raj talked about an ongoing project to scan in ALL of the books in
the world! At 1 million books a year(!) it would still take 100 years to
do. Impressive. Anyway, a few other "million xxx yyy" thoughts came into
my head, including the million book burning (something he would not approve
of) and the million librarian shhhhhing, because, well, I've always enjoyed
drawing hair in buns and half-circle glasses.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random
sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes
just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly
scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also
am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated
it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of
people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title
provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind
if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search
engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.
Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox
properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't.
I don't care.
If you want to see the image without the annoying blue-lined background
image, just click on the image.
