I attended an amazing talk by David circa 2006 at Princeton where he demoed his probabilistic text entry system called Dasher [1]. I think it was made into an iOS app later.

I also fondly recall his videos on Gaussian processes - best explanation on GPs I ever came across. [2]

Would love to see the GP video, but [2] is points to an unrelated video.
