My friend Mark Kahrs sent me this:

Don't know where he got it from.
His question to me was, what can you tell about a person's personality from their schematics?

He was an XCKD fan?
(posted here many times:
The creator of that schematic has/had a very low ARQ. Art
He's more of a creator than an organizer, and either in a hurry, doesn't really care what the roobs think, or prematurely releases preliminary drafts, which would be a sign of a certain degree of impatience and/or immaturity.
What do _YOU_ think?
Thanks! Rich
Possibly the more important question would be: Does it work?
Thanks, Rich
LOL!
Thanks! Rich
What's wrong with it? He obviously drew it up piecemeal while he was conceiving the implementation...
Looks more like a Bob Pease drawing to me. ...Jim Thompson

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
He could afford a lot of good drugs?

Wow, this one has component values.
Cheers
It' from Paul Rako's EDN Blog
Amazing coincidence. I just saw it for the first time and posted it just before reading this.

Yup. Lots and lots of them.

Very preliminary "brainstorm" schematics like that should be referred to the round file after suitable revisions and, in this case, massive clean-up.
I'd say that he'd not discovered drafting film or electically powered erasers. Back in the days when we designed onto drafting film, and had a schematic hanging up on a drawing board in the open lab for a week or two, you'd have bits of the schematic that looked liked that until you got around to tidying it up.
For some of the more complicated scribbles, you'd run the drafting film through the dye-line printer to preserve a copy before you erased the scribbled bit.
