Wednesday, November 11, 2009
It is a STUNNINGLY designed boat and there’s a really beautiful film of its interiors and decks here.
My father was the marine editor for the Vancouver Sun, my city’s “best” and largest circulation newspaper. I grew up in his word of words and images and people who loved the sea. He sensitized me to the [...]
Venn Diagrams
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
What is a Venn Diagram? Here’s the Wikipeia definition. As a visual thinker, I love them. As per the adage, “a picture is worth a thousand words,” diagrams reduce some explanations to pure simplicity. The ones above, I have found on the web and are just two examples of Venn diagrams that are funny or enlightening.

Town-Sized Installation/Illusion
Wednesday, November 4, 2009
