I recorded the Zeldman keynote on my camera and the quality isn’t the best (I haven’t even listened to it yet) but I wanted to put it up for people who couldn’t make it. Listen for the surprise towards the end. Here it is: Jeffrey Zeldman SxSW 2005 Keynote. Sorry, looks like I accidentally put up my Jeffrey Zeldman/John Cage remix edition. The link should work now! Everything was really exciting, I can die happy now.

I can now tell my kids about the day the inimitable Jeffrey Zeldman moved from almost 11 years of hand-coding to use WordPress. He wrote a bit about his thinking in Why WordPress? I'm about to walk out the door to go to Austin for SxSW, which last year was…
The Best and Brightest, Glamorous Life #33. Who says Zeldman gets linked less? Zeldman has had a profound influence on the way I think about the web. I started taking web craft seriously because of Zeldman. WordPress exists because of Zeldman. I am where I am today because of Jeffrey…
Jeffrey Zeldman: King of Web Standards. Hat tip: Niall.
no sound?
No sound for me aswell. Looks like your camera might have screwed-up Matt.
…I thought it was just me… no sound here either
For what it is worth, it doesn’t work here either. I was looking forward to it as I read some Matt was involved
yep…
Quieter than Mr Quiet Man from Quietland. I can confirm that the entire MP3 is mute.
Wow! silence must be heard.
Surprising indeed.
Yeah, what they said.
This really scared me; I had just been using my computer speakers as a guitar amplifier. I thought I had busted it or put the wire into the wrong hole in the back of the computer. As they say, silence is golden.
I just hope Matt’s technical SANFU hasn’t inadvertantly violated the copyrights held by various artists for their compositions of silence.
Sorry about that folks, should be working now.
works, but quality is a bit trife.
Yeah, any recordings I make at SxSW are going to sound similar. It’s just how my camera records. I’ll try to get my two panels tomorrow as well. I’d do them all but it really drains the battery.
All I heard was claps, laughters. Matt, you laugh really well.
Wow, I could like even hear what he was saying at some point only to hear the clue being laughed over, so I missed that, obviously.
Nice one. He has come such a long way since 1996…

Any audio wizards wanna see if they can clean that up? I’ve tried but haven’t gotten very far.
If the clip had been 4’33” I would have been a little scared.
I like how there’s an “Oh, shit” when Zeldman mentions Matt’s name. Seemed like your appearance on stage was unexpected. Whatever the case, I have to say you presented yourself very well. It’s good to see Zeldman acknowledging and embracing what you’ve done for the community.
I wasn’t in town yet, but I heard he played my switch thang. if you want to see it (with sound) its here: http://styn.net/sxsw/
woohoo! Matt rules. very exciting
Great….
So, for those of us who aren’t really sure what they are listening for – what was the surprise? (yeah, I’m lazy).
