Saturday Snap – Archival Footage of "Sask Sampler Book Archive Launch"

I recently bought a gizmo to convert old VHS tapes and other analog signals to a digital format.  As I was getting it set-up for the first time, I picked a couple clips I had from around ten years ago – one where I'm featured fairly prominently and one where you get to see my backside!  

Here's one from when I worked for the Saskatchewan Publishers Group circa 2000.  Two interesting things to note – even back then, I was talking about the information economy and the role of books in it.  And the place where we held the launch?  The Dunlop Art Gallery at the Regina Public Library!  (Oh, and Shea makes a cameo as does one of my best hairdos of all time!) 


And here's
a clip from a press conference held by the Amnesty International G8 Observer Team during the G8 Summit which was held in Kananaskis Alberta in 2002.  My only appearance is a brief shot of me with my back to the camera standing between two women, one in a white shirt and one in a green shirt, around ten seconds in.  But the guy who does most of the talking is someone I got to sneak into a protest site with along with a carload of reporters from the Independent Media Center.  Good times!
