“What's It Like To Design A User Interface for Six Billion People?” (video), invited talk at CHI2011 to accept the SIGCHI Lifetime Practice Award (May 2011), Vancouver, BC.

How cut-copy-paste and modeless editing emerged from years of persistence and collaboration.

"A CHI Retrospective: 1962-1982" (slide show from lecture), SIGCHI Puget Sound Chapter (June 2004), Seattle, WA.

Personal stories and insights gained from that early period of user interface history.

"Early Raster Animation: The Stanford Card Stunt Program" (clip on YouTube, from lecture given with Larry Breed, Bob Herriot and Don Wise), Bay Area Computer History Perspectives (May 1994), Cupertino, CA.

Breed & Earl Boebert (1961) created the first bit-mapped animation language. I (1962-63) and a team led by Barry Flachsbart (1964-65) made it usable by non-programmers.

Plenary speaker, CHI ‘89 (The SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Austin, Apr. 30-May 4, 1989).
