ACRL Philadelphia: Keynote vs. Keynote

The two keynotes bookending the last day were a contrast in content and dress. The first speaker, Jaron Lanier, was a t-shirt/jeans kind of guy who spoke about technology. He reflected his subculture. The last speaker,  dapper and dandiacal Clinton Kelly, spoke on fashion. (I found his subject removed from librarianship and of small interest, but going by the number of questioners he attracted, whoa! was he popular.)

The more philosophical might find the two different speakers symbolic of the split betwixt the mind and the body.
