I was in a bank today talking about a business account. The bank person
walked out of the office to get a printout and I was staring at the stand
that was design to hold two screens but only had one. One 'arm' had a
screen mounted on it that was facing the person behind the desk. The other
arm had a flat mounting plate where a monitor could go and was sort of
parallel to the desk. As I looked at it more, it looked like some sort of
high-five device so that the manager could interact with the
customers and say things like, "Dude, look at all the interest you got!
High five!" but not have to actually touch the filthy hands of the filthy
customers. And that put me in the mind of a single-purpose robot that was
built so that people could high-five it. So I started to draw it while I
was waiting and finished it outside of the office but while still in the
bank. |

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.
