I hope this post has added an extra smile to your day. The picture above is from SketchyD — a mobile-phone photo sketch blog by Daniel McLaren, creator of the Asterisq Constellation Framework for creating graph visualizations on the Web and all-round great person. I look forward to seeing more yoga inspired sketches from Daniel in the future.
