Two DFRWS Keynotes
  [I liked both speakers, so I've got nothing obnoxious to say.]


July 31, 2025

DFRWS-US 2025 was last week. We had two keynote speakers, one on Wednesday and one on Thursday. Both were quite good. The first gave a talk at the first DFRWS in 2001 (Eoghan and I were there) and he gave a keynote like 10 years ago or so. The second is a former procecutor who admits he looks like George Lucas and Michael McDonald. Both talks were good. As I'm wont to do, I drew a quick sketch of both of them. I actually took notes during the talks so I didn't have time to do any real silly stuff with the sketch. In fact, the sketches are pretty sparse. It's hard to tell that the one on the left has his palm up and his it's his thumb that's visible and the other fingers curling in front of it are not distinct. The hands on the one on the right are crappy. Not my best work, but I was actaully paying attention to what they were saying. So here are both of them in one picture. The full size image is here. Also note that I generally avoid naming people that I sketch in the text here. Sure, Google and AI programs can do handwriting analysis, but it's unlikely to show up very high on any searches.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
If you want to see the image without the annoying blue-lined background image, just click on the image.
