As a visual thinker, I have always loved sketching charts and graphs and trying to draw pictures to illustrate ideas. My whiteboard habits are well known to those who have worked with me. And now that infographics are all the rage, here is one graphic representing... me.
Looking through sketches and thoughts in old notebooks, at articles I have shared online, what books I have read, classes I have taken, RSS feeds in my Google Reader, tags I use in Evernote and other sites, I have been compiling a list of topics that interest me and influence how I think. Naturally I was tempted to see if I could connect all of them together in a diagram. The result is this graphic, an overly simple illustration of my perspective on life. In theory this is a key for understanding me. Although the fact that I even did it is the most important point.
