rob, you make a great point. the issue here is what is going to be most
recognizeable to the public, and what will stick in their minds and the day
after or the following week or month, and they will say to themselves "hey,
i'm going to look into that linux think that guy was using at that awesome
performance"...

speaking for myself, i would go with tux, with or without headphones, as big
as possible.

i wonder if the Creative Commons website has a suitable image. anyone looked
there yet?
