Editor's Notes
- Why did I choose this topic
- Who is that guy?
- We’ve done some comics ourselves
- Who is this guy, he looks familiar
- That’s right, the Chrome comic!
- Here he is with Will Wright (Maxis (The Sims, SimCity, Sim*))
- Fully qualified
- Where does this technique work?
- What can you expect out of this?
- These presentations have four main parts
- No, this is IEEE
- Focused is better. You can dance around, but make sure you always dance around the central topic.
- Logo stolen from The Hills
- Memorize your slides.
- Find a good balance.Err toward the fast side. You’ll probably go a bit faster during the actual presentation.
- Make sure the information is digestible. No walls of text.
- What do you think when you’re going through the slides? Think about a fail whale? Put it on there, people will think like you want to.
- BIG!
- (Lies)
- What does it take?
- Wetalkin bout practice
- What do you do during this preparation?
- Optical illusion
- Think about the random, but slightly-related questions you might get.
- Lolz
- Work on getting back to your topic from a tangent. Either be direct/abrupt or segway through some related information.
- Don’t use them as a crutch. If you can’t sell it with passion sans slides, you won’t be able to do it with slides.
- Again, you HAVE to think about the audience.
- Watch good presentations. TED (http://ted.com) and other conferences like PDC (http://microsoftpdc.com/Videos) have great presenters all the time. A lot of their videos and slides are available online.WWDC isn’t as friendly to the general public.
- Registration closed last night
- Do something great. Try things like Ignite Lincoln, offer to speak for the Raikes School, or just play around with this stuff.
