Last year at Barcamp Omaha, I did a tongue-in-cheek talk on Impostor Syndrome. This year, I was floundering on picking a topic for Barcamp—until Derek Eskens suggested I do a talk on GIFs. With only two days to prepare, I think it turned out fairly well.
In the talk I discuss: pronunciation, GIF sources, how to create your own GIFs, and GIF search and workflow. If you listen closely, you can hear the audience (playfully) boo when I finally pronounce GIF for the first time in the talk.
I did not post slides for this talk, given the loss in fidelity with an unanimated deck. But I’ve included below the list of referenced resources.

Utilities #
- LICEcap to create GIFs
