Jeremy Keith | In And Out Of Style | CSS Day 2022 - YouTube
Here’s the video of my opening talk at this year’s CSS Day, which I thoroughly enjoyed!
It’s an exciting time for CSS! It feels like new features are being added every day. And yet, through it all, CSS has managed to remain an accessible language for anyone making websites. Is this an inevitable part of the design of CSS? Or has CSS been formed by chance? Let’s take a look at the history—and some alternative histories—of the World Wide Web to better understand where we are today. And then, let’s cast our gaze to the future!
Utopia - an introduction - YouTube
James and Trys have made this terrific explanatory video about Utopia. They pack a lot into less than twenty minutes but it’s all very clearly and methodically explained.
the Intersection (2021) - YouTube
A great little sci-fi short film from Superflux—a mockumentary from the near future. It starts dystopian but then gets more solarpunk.
Have Single-Page Apps Ruined the Web? | Transitional Apps with Rich Harris, NYTimes - YouTube
This is a terrific and nuanced talk that packs a lot into less than twenty minutes.
I heartily concur with Rich’s assessment that most websites aren’t apps or documents but something in between. It’s a continuum. And I really like Rich’s proposed approach: transitional web apps.
(The secret sauce in transitional web apps is progressive enhancement.)
Sci-Fi & Me – Jeremy Keith – Stay Curious Café by beyond tellerrand - YouTube
Here’s the video of the talk I gave on Wednesday evening all about my relationship with reading science fiction. There are handy chapter markers if you want to jump around.

Here’s the video of the talk I gave at the Web Stories conference back in February.
Uppestcase and Lowestcase Letters: Advances in Derp Learning
A genuinely interesting (and droll) deep dive into derp learning …for typography!
Content Design Basics by Giles Turnbull - YouTube
This is a great series of short videos all about content design. The one on writing for humans is particularly good.

I really enjoyed this trip down memory lane with Chris:
From the Web’s inception, an ancient to contemporary history of the Web.

Chrome exempts Google sites from user site data settings
Collusion between three separate services owned by the same company: the Google search engine, the YouTube website, and the Chrome web browser.
Gosh, this kind of information could be really damaging if there were, say, antitrust proceedings initiated.
In the meantime, use Firefox
SydCSS 7th Birthday with Ethan Marcotte - YouTube
A great talk by Ethan called The Design Systems Between Us.
Chris Ferdinandi: The Lean Web | July 2020 - YouTube
A great presentation on taking a sensible approach to web development. Great advice, as always, from the blogging machine that is Chris Ferdinandi.
The web is a bloated, over-engineered mess. And, according to developer and educator Chris Ferdinandi, many of our modern “best practices” are actually making the web worse. In this talk, Chris explores The Lean Web, a set of principles for a simpler, faster world-wide web.
The web we left behind by Kyle Jacobson (ESNEXT 2020) - YouTube
This is such an excellent presentation! It really resonates with me.
Kyle Jacobson is a developer who’s been working with the web for over 10 years, and he talks about lessons from the past that can make the future of the web not only easier to develop using battle-tested technologies, but also one friendlier for humans.

Tom’s videos are so good! Did you see his excellent in-depth piece on copyright?
This one is all about APIs and the golden age of Web 2.0 when we were free to create mashups.
It pairs nicely with a piece by another Tom from a couple of years back on the joy of Twitterbots.
Home (BBC film of J. G. Ballard’s The Enormous Space) - YouTube
Here’s a BBC adaption of that J.G. Ballard short story I recorded. It certainly feels like a story for our time.
