Today I noticed that the video of the lightening talks from LCA2008 is available. It has probably been available for a while but I only just noticed :).

I was going to have you download the video that includes all the talks and skip to a particular talk that Paul Fenwick gave on greasemonkey which also mentions firebug. But a bit of searching lead me to Paul’s blog post which mentions the talk and which, in keeping with his apparent passion to make a web that doesn’t suck, includes an embedded youtube movie his talk alone. Nicely done, sir!

The audio recording does a fair job of communicating how much the audience loved the talk. I’m not sure if the audience loved the tools or hated myspace, or what, but either way I had a great time being in the audience . I wore a pretty goofy grin for most of the talk because I was happy for my friends (and loved one!) at moco.

I meant to point the talk out to them but was distracted because the video didn’t appear soon after the talk. With luck some of them won’t have seen it yet and will find some joy in hearing a few hundred people cheering at pieces of the software they work so hard on.
