Raiders of the Lost Ark meets Popeye
Chuck Forsman created a print that tells the story of Raiders of the Lost Ark, but looks like a Sunday Popeye comic strip page. View it full-size on Flickr, and get a print here.

Alice's note: Once again, hotels are not willing to provide widespread wifi access without paying through the nose in the 4 digit range. So Beth Gallaway and a few other library bloggers sat on the sides and took notes to post later.
These are them...
Full house! Lots of people here. In fact, the hotel staff started bringing in more chairs…
Andrew Pace kicks off the Symposium
Creativity Exercise:
What is your Greatest Resource?
What is your Greatest Challenge?
What if…(dangerous ideas)
*We stopped cataloging?
*We participated fully with the FBI? (Sienfeld’s Library Cop)
*We mased up Connexion x WoW=WorldCat of Warcraft…
Michael Schrage (keynote)
The Content of the Audience is more important than the Content of the Talk.
The economics of innovation:
How do organizations use models and prototypes and manage risks and innovation?
Emphasis: Managing the challenge of institution innovation. (immovable bureacracies?)
Is it harder for a good library to be innovative than an entrepreneur?
Definition: Innovation is the Conversion of “Novelty” into “Value”
Whose novelty? Whose value?
Innovation is a means to an end. (Not an end unto itself.)
Is innovation a spice? Or the whole meal? Forces the organization to address what it really does.
*Innovation isn’t what innovators offer, it’s what customers, clients and users ADOPT.
Mobile phone: How many of us know how to use more than 20% of the features of our phones? (This isn’t being innovative for phone companies to create new, little used features…it’s being wasteful.)
We need a different paradigm: Move away from “creation of choice” and toward “Value from Use”
Make the center of gravity= Value for Use. Measure THAT.
Ask your users: “What’s the most Innovative thing you think we do?”

Kyle Hilton. He’s credited right above the comments.
Vulture typically credits their contributors, whether illustrator or writer as the author of the article. There’s a link at the top of the article with the illustrator’s name, which links to other work they’ve done for Vulture.
Read the byline on the article, maybe?
Well. If only all mysteries were solved that fast.
Anyway, Nick Offerman as Groot might beat the suggestion I first heard someone joke about with him as Rocket Raccoon.
