Cool!

I was just "friended" on Flickr by the accessibility guru Joe Clark! (yes, the real Joe Clark)

Rockin'!

You were friended by a former Canadian Prime Minister? Wow!

(We had a PM in the 80's by that name...)

Which is amusing because this Joe Clark is also Canadian.

No, he's the author of this book:

One of the best books on web usability and accessibility.

omg, you mean that joe clark. just kidding. never heard of him. almost as interesting a concept as books about and by librarians. actually winner for the dullest is still that conference my tax accountant once droned about. although the congressional library's online analysis of audio media archiving formats comes pretty close.

"Free Mr. Clark!

Free Mr. Clark!"

"We're going to get you kids a good principal."

"We don't want a good principal, we want MR. CLARK!"
