In December 2008 I presented a series of slides at a Pecha Kucha performance night. This night I told an astounding story of an on and
off again relationship with a girl from my childhood. It was a story meant for a group of people in one room at one time. I didn't even
fathom that a person would document the story and post it on the internet.

Columbia film professor Dan Rybicky came to the performance and decided to record it with his camera. After posting the clips to his
Flickr account, he included the comment that one of the clips had "made many people in the audience uncomfortable". Columbia film
professor Dan Rybicky decided that it was a good idea to put this item on the internet for eternity.

After asking Columbia film professor Dan Rybicky to remove the clip he decided to and then un-decided to. After I asked the creator of
Pecha Kucha to ask Columbia film professor Dan Rybicky to remove the clips he complied only to record the entire conversation regarding the clips
and re-post them to his Flickr account.

After explaining to Columbia film professor Dan Rybicky that having a record of the performance on the internet for eternity may hurt
the subject of the story, Columbia film professor Dan Rybicky decided that his work as a documentarian was more important than a
person's feelings.

Recently Columbia film professor Dan Rybicky presented himself at a Pecha Kucha performance. I was unable to attend but I would
have loved to have seen Columbia film professor Dan Rybicky's performance. A friend of mine who is a woman (who was not
made uncomfortable by my performance) attended the show and was rather taken aback by Columbia film professor Dan Rybicky's
performance. After telling her about all of the things that happened between me and Columbia film professor Dan Rybicky regarding
Pecha Kucha, she wrote:

"ok. whoah and wow. i got the jist that the dude is slightly off his rocker
and thought he was being all artsy or something, the red flag for that is he used the word, 'dialogue.'"

After asking her about his performance, she related:

"i could tell by his arrangement of tattoos he was a bully. and how weird is that? he totally hates on you and then is all, 'you know,
ill present too!' and to be honest he had an extremely disturbing slide even for arts sake many people looked away going 'ewwww'
it was like of a stuffed animal humping a baby or something or i guess strategically placed, it was just weird. and thats coming from
someone who likes weird."

Here's the slide in question:
