No, there are no lightning talks at Internet Librarian, but during my presentation with Meredith yesterday I thought I’d do something fun since I wasn’t going to be using my laptop. I turned it around to face the audience and used the built-in iSight along with Gawker to record a time-lapse movie of the "crowd" filing in, listening, and then filing out again. Thought I’d watch to see if there was a point at which a majority fell asleep, and after careful analysis I’m glad to report that aside from one big stretch by Greg Schwartz (it was the end of the day afterall), they seemed engaged 🙂
Woulda been better quality had there not been lights shining directly at the stage we were on, but hey, whattya gonna do?
So here you have about 1:15 compressed to 15 seconds. Whee!

Classic. To be fair, wasn’t that stretch before the session started? Looks like there was a moment where I dangerously leaned my head back for a few seconds. Not a typical sign of rapturous attention.
