+
+Over the last two weeks I've been working on a conference talk that just so
+happened to be accepted to two conferences at once. It's about how this website
+(the one you are reading right now) works and I am so excited to release this
+out into the wild.
+
+Want to know more? Here's a teaser:

+
+The [Conf42](https://www.conf42.com/rustlang2022) version of this talk will be
+live on M09 01 2022 at around 18:00 UTC.
+
+> Blog engines are a fantastic opportunity for self-expression and
+> overengineering things. This is the story of my blog engine through the years
+> as I have made it faster and faster. I currently serve pages so fast that
+> timing how long it took ended up taking longer than serving the pages in the
+> first place. In this talk, I will go over how and why my blog engine in Rust
+> is so fast and what you can learn from it to make your web applications even
+> faster.

+
+The [GambiConf](https://gambiconf.dev/) version of this talk will be live on M09
+10 2022 at around 14:05 UTC.
+
+> Dynamic webapps don't have to be slow. In this talk I will break out how I
+> overengineered my blog with Rust to the point that people think it's a static
+> site.
+
+As an extra teaser, here's the first paragraph of my talk:
+
+> Speed. Safety. Development experience. Fearless concurrency. These are all
+> things that you associate with programs written in Rust. How about some more
+> buzzwords? Words like elegant? That's a good one. I'm Xe Iaso and I'm going to
+> share the gory details on how my blog works, and why people often mistake it
+> for a static website. Buckle up and kick back, we're going to learn about the
+> internet today.
+
+Want to hear more? Tune to one of those two conferences! Both of them have a
+fascinating set of talks that I am going to enjoy watching. 
+
+As always, I'll get a page up on my website with the slides, talk transcript,
+youtube embed and more! I'm looking at having this page up by M09 12 2022.
+If you subscribe to my [Patreon](https://patreon.com/cadey) you'll get access to
+my raw scripts (including draft scripts) and initial notes so you can see the
+evolutions that took place in my creative process.
