2008 Conference at Rhodes University, South Africa

I presented at a conference at ILAM (International Library of African Music), housed at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa.  It was titled "An Overview of the Digitizing Landscape" and it was intended to present some not difficult options for presenting "things" on a web site to make them more engaging - like 3D photos and Quicktime VR.

I recently came across these photos taken by my wife, Jeri Hollister, during that presentation.  At various points during my presentation I juggled, told jokes and had everybody wearing 3D glasses.

When I got back, a colleague said "If you'd hauled out a box of puppies you would have brought the house down."

Maybe....but it was still fun!

In the top photo below you can see Tom Bray (me, standing) on the far left, Kelly Askew (seated, far left), Director of the African Studies Center, and Lester Monts (Far right) Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Special Advisor to the President for Arts, Diversity, and Undergraduate Affairs.

The bottom photo shows the whole group.  Diane Thram, Director of ILAM, is on the far right.
