A Sightseeing Citeseer   January 28, 2006 I attended a talk on campus on Thursday by the guy who made CiteSeer. He was talking about the NextGeneration CiteSeer. Yesterday's sketch was the straight-laced drawing that sort of looks like him. After doing that, I decided I should do something fun. So this sketch is of him as a NextGeneration Sightseer (or tourist), complete with Hawaiian sweater (he was wearing a sweater), straw hat, sunglasses (with VGA screens on them), camera (with a flash that can't be turned off), out of date map, and wireless antennas. Oh and of course pasty white skin like any good tourist. Oh, and he talked about how the new system parses the acknowledgement section of papers and compared them to citations. His quote amused me. Oh, I think the word "(originally)" was left from some notes I took and isn't part of the drawing. I just forgot to erase it. Ooops.

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.
