I just came back from Paris where I talked apparently very animated to around 50 developers about all the goodies Yahoo offers developers:

I’ve spent the ride on the Eurostar editing the recording of the talk. I simply used Audacity and the built-in microphone of my MacBook Pro so the quality is not stunning but does the trick.

I like being in Paris, developers have very good and challenging questions there, the coffee and food simply rocks and I can be in and out in a matter of hours without having to wait at airports and spend hours in the air being unable to use my laptop. We’re now waiting for feedback what other talks people in Paris want us to give and I am sure I will be back before long.

I just came back from giving my first talk in Taiwan and I have to say it seemed to have worked out well. The room was packed and people asked very good questions afterwards.

In the slides I covered the history of web development, what we did wrong and what we should avoid in the future. I also covered the YUI and how it embodies some of the priniciples great web development is based on.

Update: Liang-Bin Hsueh posted an audio recording of the talk missing only the first five minutes.

Here is a talk I just gave at an internal SEO conference about the overlap of SEO and Accessibility. The main consensus is that if you look at it closely, the two are really trying to solve the same problem, most of the time our approach is what makes it tricky.
