What a nice thing to say! Particularly at this personal/professional juncture. (But if you heard me in Houston, you heard a somewhat different speech, “Dreams, Devices, Niches and Edges…” at the Ninth Texas Conference on Library Automation, April 3, 1993–six months later. That speech also appeared, in slightly modified form, in PACS Review v.4 (1993). )

The speech linked to yesterday was given in Phoenix for AzLA. Turns out it’s a little misleading to call it my first major speech, since I’d done 20 speeches before then, including one preconference keynote. What it was, was the first speech I did on “technolust”-related issues; almost all the earlier ones were on online catalogs, or desktop publishing, or personal computing.

I was at that Library Automation meeting here in Huston and heard you give that talk. Just wonderful. Technolust was a great concept, so true and funny at the same time. A articluate voice for moderation was so refreshing.

After the talk I started to search out your writings.

It was a great talk and worth revisiting.
