Wow! Grace Hopper has always been a hero to me, but I had no idea she was such a fantastic presenter. She’s completely engaging, with the timing and deadpan delivery of a stand-up comedian at times.

Have Single-Page Apps Ruined the Web? | Transitional Apps with Rich Harris, NYTimes - YouTube
This is a terrific and nuanced talk that packs a lot into less than twenty minutes.

(The secret sauce in transitional web apps is progressive enhancement.)
