Did you see my Seesmic from yesterday? I was like IN the laptop. Everyone made fun of me. And today I look like the girl from the Grudge HAHA. Practice makes perfect. - Mona N.
As long as your being yourself that is all that matters. That is one of the things I personally look for when I'm attracted to a girl. Just be yourself and the rest will take care of itself. - Mathew Ballard
I love me some MJ. Awesome stuff! But I actually use music I hate in the mornings. If I hear something I like I'll just lay in bed and listen to it on repeat. So I start off the day with Country. Nothing makes me want to get going more than Country Music. - Occasional Headbanger
Definitely something wrong with you Mona ;) <3333. I *ALWAYS* start my day with songs; there are quite a few that make the mood for me. This is probably one of the most frequently played ones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... - Parth Awasthi
You have offended the Asians With Rythmn coaliton! - Leather Donut
My days would definitely start off with some trance. - Andrew Trinh
Oh jeez. I can't believe you guys all watched this one. I look like the creepy girl from The Grudge. Or The Ring. Or one of those stupid horror movies. - Mona N.
I had forgotten how much I loved that song...haha...awesome video Mona. You should do it more often. - Kamath ॐ
my morning wake-up music used to be The Boo Radleys or Blur, back when I had my alarm clock CD player would play a specific track to wake me up. Now, I just turn on the iPhone, hit the random playlist on Pandora and hope for the best. :) - Pete Delucchi
I recently watched the Web2.0 summit one which was good but not astounding. I got the impression it would be much more involving in person? - Cameron Neylon
But its a great post discussing how and whether to use that kind of many slides approach. Andy Powell of EduServ does this very well as well. - Cameron Neylon
I've seen others pick up on it as well. I've seen many of the greats now, some in person (Jobs, Lessig, Kawasaki, Godin, etc) and they're all fascinating in their own right, but Lessig is just so unique and his delivery is just so brilliant, it changed the way I thought about presentations. - Deepak
So I need to look at a few more Lessig ones obviously - the Hardt one mentioned in the piece sounds interesting as well. Maybe for later today if I have time. Priority 1 - send a bunch of emails. Priority 2 - install Python... - Cameron Neylon
Just watched the Hardt. It's good fun, but I don't know that I like this style and could certainly never deliver it myself. - Neil Saunders
Hardt's presentation was the one that inspired me to change my presentation style completely a couple of years ago :) - Lars Juhl Jensen
The one I saw in person was very similar to the TED talk (similar conversation space). - Deepak
This is more like story telling with powerpoint. It connects better with people and it is great to put a strong novel idea. It is great for the introduction and discussion but not very good for the results section of a scientific talk. I have been thinking about trying something like "The Word" section of the Colbert Report. I wonder if that would work in a meeting :) - Pedro Beltrao
Exactly what I thought Pedro, it's more storytelling than anything else. I don't know about the "The Word", it might work. - Paulo Nuin
All good scientific talks also tell a story, at least the ones that engage me, or at least present a context to the discussion at hand. I agree for results the Lessig approach probably won't work. I actually think the Kawasaki way of doing things (illustrative, minimalist and to the point) would be the better approach there. - Deepak
I'm trying to be as minimalist as I can in preparing presentations. No background annoyances, short bullet points when needed or just an illustrative image. - Paulo Nuin
thanks for the TED link, I'd never seen Lessig speak, only seen his flash presentations - mikepk
