The 11ty International Symposium on Making Web Sites Real Good - YouTube
I wasn’t able to tune into this live (“tune in?” what century is this?) but I’ve enjoyed catching up with the great talks like:
- Hints & Suggestions (First, Do No Harm) by Miriam Suzanne
- Digital Frontiers, IndieWeb Cowboys, and A Place Online To Call Your Own by Henry Desroches
- Come to the light side: HTML Web Components by Chris Ferdinandi
On Opening Essays, Conference Talks, and Jam Jars
Great stuff from Maggie—reminds of the storyforming workshop I did with Ellen years ago.
Mind you, I disagree with Maggie about giving a talk’s outline at the beginning—that’s like showing the trailer of the movie you’re about to watch.

35mm scans — writer/editor/reporter
Clicking through these cold war slides gives an uncomfortable mixture of nostalgic appreciation for the retro aesthetic combined with serious heebie-jeebies for the content.
The slides appear to be 1970s/1980s informational or training images from the United States Air Force, NORAD, Navy, and beyond.

This is a really clear, practical, level-headed explanatory talk from Simon. You can read the transcript or watch the video.
