Jacob Appelbaum's talk
Jacob gave a very intense talk at WebZine this afternoon describing his father's death and Jacob's time in Iraq and then in New Orleans. Since Jacob is a photographer, the whole thing was illustrated by a constant slide-show of professional-quality documentary photographs.
Jacob's theme was the humanity of everyone everywhere and the failure of our institutions to respect it and to communicate it to us. I think it was one of the most memorable and most personal speeches I've ever seen.
