Visual Notes
“I practiced drawing all the time and became very interested in it. If I was at a meeting that wasn't getting anywhere - like the one where Carl Rogers came to Caltech to discuss with us whether Caltech should develop a psychology department - I would draw the other people.” Richard P. Feynman
I have always loved that statement by Mr. Feynman. I also love to create cool visual notes of significant events and thoughtful presentations. It helps me to remember what was discussed, and it really feels like an impression of the visual notes are planted as a special textured layer on my hardworking memory banks.
In "The Analytical Language of John Wilkins," Borges describes 'a certain Chinese Encyclopedia,' the Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge, in which it is written that animals are divided into: those that belong to the Emperor,embalmed ones,those that are trained,suckling pigs,mermaids,fabulous ones,stray dogs,those included in the present classification,those that tremble as if they were mad,innumerable ones,those drawn with a very fine camelhair brush,others,those that have just broken a flower vase,those that from a long way off look like flies.
