i love that photo!
I know I've said it several times, but PLEASE shake Brewster's hand for me, David. I'm a huge fan of Internet Archive.
sarah - this morning, i was telling students in digital journalism about brewster and mentioned that he'll be talking this evening. when i turned around to look up at the computer screen, i saw this pic, with brewster's hands a-wavin', i cracked up. =)
ivan - you've made it back! i will gladly shake brewster's hand and tell him it's from you. we miss you already.
I am :-( I had to miss Brewster's talk. I was all jazzed up after seeing Ivan too -- very relevant presentation for we blogging librarians. However, I have seen Brewster Kahle present at Society for Scholarly Publishing and I love & admire the Internet Archive. IA has an amazing collection of moving images, the one I love in particular is a Holmes (Burton) vocational film on becoming . . . a librarian, of course: www.archive.org/details/Libraria1947
