Mark: I'm a fan of presentation zen (if you saw my PDC talk -- I love using non-verbose slides) ...

Most of my talk will be demos and code -- so even if they slides don't blow people away, hopefully the code demos will :)

Maybe you can blast everyone away with a newstyle presentation. Take a look at presentation Zen or the very nice presentation from Andy Budd.

You can find it at:

(I couldn't figure out if i could use hrefs in this comment, maybe nice to hint that to the users)

Great, thanks. :)

It's too bad they don't broadcast these live.

Erik: No clue about the video -- I'll post a link as soon as it's up though. PDC took about a month and a half.

"I hoped that not having Powerpoint would force me to come up with a gripping, unique talk that would win many awards, honors, an Oscar, presidential medal of honor, and possibly a pony."

I think you should still strive for that pony. ;)

Do you know when the Mix06 videos will be published? Sadly I wasn't lucky enough to get to go, so I'm gonna have to enjoy from the comfort of my office.
