April 15, 2026 I played trivia at a local bar tonight with some friends. I got there early to stake out a table, as the place fills out quickly. And while I was waiting for the others to show up, various people asked if I'd be using all the space (unlike other occasions where I'd be waiting alone at a picnic-table sized table, this was more like one that could hold four people), and I would say that, yes, others should be showing up (and eventually did). Since it's, essentially, scavengers looking to find something they can use, we've referred to them as hyenas circling around, looking for something either dead or vulnerable. While I was waiting, I decided to draw something and that's what came to mind. Note that I don't really know what a hyena looks like, in any accurate sense. I showed it to the first person in our group that arrived. He asked if I was just adding more and more hyenas until someone else arrived. I think the answer is yes, though it wasn't something I thought about or planned. More just abject fear of how long I could hold off the hyenas.

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.
