<br />
Yes.  I know.

But well drawn charts are always fascinating.  Now, combine a chart with what is sometimes my favourite subject, me, and maybe I could do something?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve always loved charts.</p>
<p>Yes.  I know.</p>
<p>But well drawn charts are always fascinating.  Now, combine a chart with what is sometimes my favourite subject, me, and maybe I could do something?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m often asked what I did, when.  And to be quite frank, I struggle.  Stuff&#8217;s based on various hazy memories such as &#8220;well I was wearing those pixie boots back then, so must have been 1985.&#8221;</p>
<p>I wondered if there was a really really simple way of visualising the key things I did in each year.  I reckon recent years are more important than those long ago.  And to signify my general decline a spiral is probably the best metaphor for my life.  SO&#8230;!  Here it is, what I did in my career, in it&#8217;s most primary elements.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d be really interested to know if this works for you, or if you think I&#8217;m just nobbing about.  Comments, please!</p>

<p>PS. I know that the resizing&#8217;s gorn and made it a bit soft, but life&#8217;s too short to fix that &#8211; it&#8217;s just an experiment.  Sorry.</p>
