In which digital manifestations of myself plague the Internets

Over the past few months, I've been fortunate enough to participate in a few events that have been recorded and made available on the 'net for your perpetual amusement. Well - amusing if you're a special sort of person. Following are the three latest such adventures, in chronological order:

• CouchDB: delicious sacrilege (presentation at the Code4Lib 2008 conference from February 2008). You can find my slides for the presentation here, but Noel Peden did such a good job of recording the video that you probably don't need them. Watching this wasn't as painful as I thought it was going to be. Oh, and what is this? It's a fairly technical introduction to CouchDB, a RESTful, replicating, high-performance document database. It's only 20 minutes long, and it may be amusing to watch my presentation "style" even if you don't care about the technical bits at all. Oh, and my monitor was blank for the entire thing, so I had to look over my shoulder to see what my audience was seeing. video_out_problems--
• I gave a presentation on the state of acquisitions in Evergreen as of March 12, 2008 at the VALE Next Generation Academic Library Symposium. VALE made video (streaming WMV) available, as well as audio (MP3), and my slides are available here. I haven't watched this one yet: for one thing, the state of Evergreen acquisitions has come a long way in the past two months. For another, during the question-and-answer session that follows my talk, I recall giving a rather garbled answer to what should have been a straightforward question about the GPL license. Of course, nothing is straightforward about licensing...
• Last week I was at the University of Windsor collaborating with the likes of Mike Rylander, Bill Erickson, David Fiander, Art Rhyno, John Fink, Michael Giarlo, and Graham Fawcett on Evergreen's acquisitions system... David snapped this photo of John and I working in the ancient "Technical Services" room (hah!) and it was picked up by a local Windsor blog with the comment "librarians are the new geek". Thanks, I think...
