Given its increasingly dire financial situation, the library no longer provides individual retirement celebrations; they hold one rather paltry party for everyone who retires in June...sort of like a mass burial. Hope there's booze, at least. Since I'm in no mood to make yet another going-away speech, I cobbled together a little 8 minute clip reel that I'm gonna show in flagrant disregard for copyright. I think it's only appropriate that I go out in grand, transgressive style. And to compound the transgression, I've put the video up for your streaming pleasure at: http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/videodir/asx2/adios.asx Unfortunately, it's encoded for Windows media player... If you're a Mac person (as am I), you'll need to download the free Flip4Mac plug-in from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/windows-media-player/wmcomponents Don't get your shorts in a wed, Jessica. I'll take it down tomorrow. xoxox g.
