I'm a little uncertain about linking to this talk, because it is... far and away the most emotional talk of my life. I spent a lot of time crying on stage, and that was no act. But here is my talk from DWeb Camp: "Spritely: Painting a New Vision for the Internet" https://dwebcamp.org/videos/spritely-painting-a-new-vision-for-the-internet/

The talk is about @The Spritely Institute and why I think our work matters, but also multiple levels of existential crisis, including the potentially absurd choice to have the executive director of your org animate a short film, which I am hard at work doing, trying to justify our existence

And who gives a shit, when anyone can just press a button and get generated output

Who really cares?

Who cares about any of this.

But I do care.

It also contains major spoilers for the very animation I'm working on right now, but in much more raw and largely storyboarded form. And it's... a raw, and emotional talk, that also had much of the room likewise in tears. So I dunno, maybe watch it or not; consider that your CW.

I haven't watched the recording myself, fwiw. It's a bit too hard to. :\
