DanFest was previously mentioned on LtU. In fact, Ehud wrote, "I sure wish that [Guy Steele's] keynote was available online somewhere.". Not only will you enjoy the keynote, Ehud, but you might even find a talk given in the style of The Little Schemer. :-)
In addition to watching the talks online, you can download the videos to your computer and watch them at a higher resolution with Google Video Player.
Enjoy!
