I’m giving a talk today while jet lagged, emotionally exhausted after a night of watching midterm results, in the middle of a cold, and with two lithium-ion batteries strapped to my ankles. Please wish me luck. 0_O

Also, something that really worked for me (particularly for live demos) is an old-fashioned cheat sheet taped next to the trackbar. Invisible to the audience, super helpful in a pinch, and delightfully cryptic and mysterious as a bonus.pic.twitter.com/xmY3ZgRs3N

Okay, this is my talk! 45 minutes of keyboards and art and all sorts of fun things from typewriter mysteries, through ELIZA and PLATO emoticons, to Japanese keyboards and modern iPhones. I hope you enjoy:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3u22w2t0DV4 …

Also, I wanted to send my appreciation to Beyond Tellerrand crew and
@marcthiele for indulging me in trying out all sorts of new things for this talk:Show this thread -
1. We set up had a little booth for keyboard art where you can participate and try to solve various typewriter mysteries. (
@marcthiele bought three typewriters for this!)pic.twitter.com/Xpe5LhJ20R

I’ve never had a talk of mine professionally transcribed (by
@phamtranscript)! The reactions make me so happy: [Laughter] [Cheers] [Audience murmurs] [Chuckles] [Applause] “Audience member: Cool.” “Audience member: Whoa!” (and the best:) [Whistle]https://beyondtellerrand.com/events/berlin-2018/speakers/marcin-wichary?platform=hootsuite …Show this thread

This is so generous to reveal. Thanks so much. I’ll definitely model in my future work.

Thank you, please let me know if it works for you! I find getting feedback after a talk is close to impossible – harder even than with writing – so I’m trying to take ownership of that myself.
