My life is public. I write here daily and I’ve been contributing my ideas, words and images to newsgroups, Internet bulletin boards, publications and websites for more than ten years. So when you do a web search for “Kristen McQuillin” you’ll find a lot of references.
But today I found one that surprised me. I was playing with KartOO, a search engine that draws relational diagrams and I clicked through to this article at Scientific American. They borrowed images I’d drawn for a 1997 grad school project on the history of zero. What a surprise–they never even asked. I took the original project off the web a while back, but my images lived on. I discovered my History of Zero project cited in two other places so I’ve just dug out the files, updated them and put them back on my site.
