This document provides tips for participating in karaoke including choosing a song you are familiar with, being supportive of other singers, getting into the performance during your song, allowing for instrumental breaks, improvising judiciously, maintaining sobriety, having fun and smiling, and potentially gender bending songs. The overall message is that anyone can enjoy karaoke by selecting a song they know and feeling confident performing for the audience.
PowerPoint Karaoke (Sample Presentation)Amber Case
This is an example PowerPoint Karoke Presentation. This one does not have text, in order to increase the narrative flexibility of the speaker. The format of the PowerPoint Karaoke creation process was that everyone had 10 minutes to create and submit a slideshow to a centralized database. Then we randomized the speakers and PowerPoints and each gave a random 10 minute presentation on the slides.
This ia a great version of Toastmasters which teaches how to give presentations on the fly. It is a fun and enjoyable practice that was first started in 2005 by a group of German artists. Now, the practice and experience of PowerPoint Karaoke is ubiquitous across many geek gatherings, and is increasingly a part of Unconference proceedings such as BarCamp and CyborgCamp (http://cyborgcamp.com).
PowerPoint Karaoke is often best played with a slightly inebriated group of 6-8 interesting people.

PowerPoint Karaoke Slides from DrupalCorn 2014Rob Green
I built this for our Friday Night social a recent conference, and it was a big hit. Just google "powerpoint karaoke" to find lots of descriptions of how this game works. It helps to also have an open bar beforehand. :)
This slide deck has 15 slides per presenter, for a total of 5 presenters. The second-to-last slide reads "In Conclusion..." to help the presenters know to wrap up their speech. At DrupalCorn 2014 (Iowa's Drupal conference) we allowed each presenter about 5 minutes, and advanced the slides for them at our whim... it might be good to let the presenters SAY when to go to the next slide, to give them better timing.
Many of these slides were either taken from other presentations around the internet, or inspired by them. No money was made from this, so I hope the original creators don't mind. If so, just let me know what slides to pull out and I'll replace them.
Feel free to steal or hack up this presentation as you see fit. :)
In this update of his past presentations on Mobile Eating the World -- delivered most recently at The Guardian's Changing Media Summit -- a16z’s Benedict Evans takes us through how technology is universal through mobile. How mobile is not a subset of the internet anymore. And how mobile (and accompanying trends of cloud and AI) is also driving new productivity tools.
In fact, mobile -- which encompasses everything from drones to cars -- is everything.

18 Signs You Are Killing Your CreativityAbhishek Shah
You can make a significant impact in the world in your own small way if you expand your horizon and start asking: why?
You are supposed to explore and make yourself better, smarter and stay remarkable. Some people are killing their creative instincts without knowing it. Your daily actions either enhance your ability to make a positive impact in your immediate environment or kill your creative habits.
We all know that incredible outcomes are only ever the result of brave choices. But being brave means giving yourself room to fail. Fail spectacularly and fail often. And for that failure to not be the kind of thing you lose your job over.
Which means you need to build room for mistakes into your process so you can fail forwards, keep being brave, and make some exceptional stuff as a result.

So I was spoke at an automotive event, and it reminded me of some work that I did with my team over the holidays. We gathered some examples of what various car dealerships have been doing on their social channels, and I added comment in the style of my book, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook. Today I decided to re-release the case studies in a new format specifically for Slideshare! Whether you're in the automotive industry or not, these critiques should provide some substantial value to anybody looking to improve the quality of their social content.

How to Use Social Media to Influence the WorldSean Si
Here's the deck to my talk for the 23rd ASA Congress which was at The Grand Ballroom of Marriott Hotel. It was an awesome experience and I only had two points:
1) Use social media for good and
2) You have to have authority to use social media influentially.

Some think working remotely is a terrible setting that takes control away and let's employees stay at home and be useless. Others find that remote work increases overall productivity and lowers the need to micromanage.
And both sides might be correct as remote work, like all other structures, work really well for some and make others crazy.
The only thing that we can say for certain is that telecommuting is increasingly popular and there are problems you need to face to make it work.
Great presentation outlining the proper way to use Powerpoint during presentations.

What’s up everybody, my name is Tony Bacigalupo aka @tonybgoode, And I’m going to talk about how to rawk karaoke. I’m from New York, the home of TechKaraoke And I run New Work City, an awesome coworking space in Manhattan
Who are you singing for? You can sing for yourself, or you can sing for the crowd. We’re going to talk about the latter.
At SXSW, I won the Cogaoke competition A competition which was dominated by NYC and Philly Geoff DiMasi caught an inflatable guitar I threw into the audience and my favorite moment was when he jumped up and down like a child when he caught it
So, how do you get awesome at karaoke? I'll tell you gigantic text slide, Perspective. Karaoke means tone deaf. Keep in mind: voice doesn't matter. Anyone can rock karaoke. Nothing matters except having fun.
Karaoke is not American Idol And there’s a good chance you are not as good as you think you are You do not want to sound like this:
Some songs you should never sing in any context “ I keep on fallin…”
Now we’ve got our song in mind- let’s talk about timing.
Know your song. Nobody wants to see you read a screen And certainly nobody wants to see you try to figure out how to sing the bridge because you totally forgot that part You don't have to nail it-- screwing up words here and there can make it funnier
This is a rare one among karaokers and I think very important if you really want to rock a crowd
Get into it! You are not going to rock karaoke if you spend the instrumental breaks like this: (stand boringly)
So, how do you get awesome at karaoke? I'll tell you gigantic text slide, Perspective. Karaoke means tone deaf. Keep in mind: voice doesn't matter. Anyone can rock karaoke. Nothing matters except having fun.
