Smart Sealing

I was looking at one of the presentation blogs I look at and saw a reference to this presentation. I was moved by the topic and they way it was presented. It kept my interest the entire time. Check it out below:

Found this interesting image in a mechanical engineering book over 100 years old. as you can see, packing consolidation was key even back then. And lets not forget the famous pine stick!

Yes it is true. I have one of my presentations actually published - the only problem the entire article is in Chinese. Except for the untranslatable English word every so often, I can not read a world of it.

A few months ago I got an email from the editor of the magazine that had seen my presentation at last years Valve world in the Netherlands. She asked if she could turn it into an article and I said yes.
Here is a link to the entire paper.

Well I have been really fascinated with this writer named Cliff Atkinson.
Who is he and why should I care?
- he is an independent consultant to leading attorneys and Fortune 500 companies on how to give better presentations
- He designed the presentations that helped persuade a jury to award a $253 million verdict to the plaintiff in the nation's first Vioxx trial in 2005, which Fortune magazine called "frighteningly powerful."

Here is a link to a few of his writings on the subject.
Five ways to reduce PowerPoint overload -
The first 5 slides
The science of PowerPoint overload

I was so taken by his ideas I watched one of his on-line webcasts (recorded) on his concepts. I really got a lot out of it.
Here is a link for his video’s

I also ran out and got his book.
I hope you get something out of this to help in presenting better PowerPoint’s as much as I did.

Been playing around with "jumpcut" - a yahoo company. Very cool.
