It's about time I listed all of the talks that I've done on my website. So here they are. There are more which I can't remember, but these are the ones I remember.

Let this be a lesson to you all. Make note of the things that you've done. Because I don't. 😅 www.joshtumath.uk/talks/

This might be my last year living in the UK. Next spring, I'm hoping to move to Japan and I plan to start looking for jobs soon.

I would love to have a job that would let me continue or increase my participation in the CSSWG. If anyone knows an org in Japan that could hire me, please let me know.

The #CSSDay community had incredibly helpful feedback about <meta name=text-scale>.

Lots of different ideas for how to stop headings from scaling at the same rate as body text.

Good feedback on how the large text on mobile will be a problem for languages with very long words, like German.

It's a community of very generous people who are doing things because of their values, not for profit.

From the big tech companies to the open source non profits to the students, these individuals care incredibly about defending an open and interoperable web for everyone.

I'm still thinking about #CSSDay. Seeing old friends and members of the CSSWG who I don't normally get to meet in person.

But more importantly, talking to all the attendees. We're so privileged to be part of a world wide community that want to make the web a better place for everyone.

I'm sad to miss you all at #CSSDay this year! Wish I could be there, and see all the great talks.

In the spirit of the event, I'm launching my new #CSS course – Poetic CSS! The first module is ready, and early bird tickets will go on sale for the month of July.

Poetic CSS

Understand CSS as a system — so you can write, review, and maintain web styles with confidence on a timeline and under budget.

And that’s how the t-shirt ended up. Thanks for entertaining it everyone 😁💙 #CSSDay

Day 1 of #CSSDay is over, I'm going to bed as all my spoons have been given away, but it's all good: I'm feeling full of heart and social battery.

Before going on stage I was boggling at the genius of @rebane2001's emulation of an x86 CPU in CSS (yup!), struggling to keep still, wishing my rational head would calm my heart.

I'm very thankful that I didn't embarrass myself, that I had a good time on stage, and that the nervous energy translated well into enthusiasm :)

My people. Thank you 💜
