Norman kicked off his “Digital Video: Who’s Making It? It’s Not Just the Consumer..." panel by scanning the room and quipping, “I don’t know if we have a better crowd than Jack Myers, but our audience is definitely better looking.”

Norman, of course, was referring to the concurrent panel on "Communications Planning; Reality or Hype?" that was moderated by industry consultant and publisher Jack Myers, who many might consider to be better looking than Norman â€" marginally.

But you be the judge:

Jack Myers (above)

Rob Norman (above)

So much for inside jokes.

But then Norman ended his panel but once again scanning the room and closing with, “I suggest that we’ve gotten a bigger crowd than Jack Myers, and if we did, I’d be overjoyed.”

Wow, it doesn’t take much to bring joy to this digital guru’s heart.
