This is Cabel Sasser’s XOXO talk. Best not to know anything going into it…just watch all the way to the end. “Don’t waste this. Keep everyone guessing. Make me proud.”

Gosh, this was fantastic. Even got me choked up at the end.
Me too
That quote is a callback to Cabel’s XOXO 2013 talk, which is also one of my favorites and worth watching as a companion to this one.
holy moly, that triptych!
Holy, indeed
So good! Also: McDonald's interior decorators using . . . wrought iron style fences!
wow amazing, thank you for posting. This must have been spectacular irl
Wow that was amazing especially forgetting through the roller coaster that the end had a payoff!
Wow. What a climax.
I adore this talk. I've watched it four times in the last few days.
This was great. As a person with a more subdued (non-ADHD? Lol) style of giving presentations or talks, I aspire to this level of energy and self footnotes/diversions - it’s such a good story

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation..
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the community guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will take a look at it.
