I don’t think I will ever write a better talk title or description than this one for my opening keynote at Dokutech¹ in 2016 (I’m going through all the past events Laura and I spoke at over the last decade and making sure the links work for the Kitten² version of the site):

The matrix is inverted and my teddy bear is spying on me. Why am I covered in unicorn shit? I was only browsing the web. No, I do not want another cookie. Why are you feeding me cookies?

Why can He see me, but I can’t see Him? Who, exactly, is getting smarter about whom? And why is Oettinger’s donut so red?
