Saw him present at UW last year. One word ... wow - Deepak
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
Cameron, look at the TED talk - Deepak
Lars, I've completely changed mine as well. I used to take the Kawasaki approach, but find Lessig's more compelling - Deepak
Wow - the TED talk is...yeh, I get the point now... :-) http://www.ted.com/index.php/t... - Cameron Neylon
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

Top Salary in McCain Camp? Palin’s Makeup Stylist - The Caucus Blog - NYTimes.com
October 24 at 5:07 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link
"Who was the highest paid individual in Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign during the first half of October as it headed down the homestretch? Not Randy Scheunemann, Mr. McCain’s chief foreign policy adviser; not Nicolle Wallace, his senior communications staffer. It was Amy Strozzi, Gov. Sarah Palin’s traveling makeup artist, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday night." - JC unwired via Bookmarklet
McCain's "base" used to be the MSM, then it was Joe Sixpack; now it's apparently a hypoallergenic Clinique product. - Karim

AP INVESTIGATION: Alaska funded Palin kids' travel - Yahoo! News
October 21 at 4:35 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link
"ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Gov. Sarah Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business." - JC unwired via Bookmarklet
Thanks Joe! - Mohomed=genieyclo
"The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel." - Duncan Riley
They'll spin against this, but you'd have to think that she's completely screwed now - Duncan Riley
Palin for president in 2012? Pffftt. She's lucky if she is still governor of Alaska through 2009. - JC unwired
Can you imagine, with all the travel the veep does, the bill to US taxpayers for shuttling her children around the world? - JC unwired
She didn't take it from lobbyists... she took it from taxpayers! wow. - anna
as I said elsewhere... This is why you don't sell the state owned airplane - Sean Reiser
Terrible use of taxpayer money... you're fired! - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)

Apple Mac Advert - Bean Counter

October 20 at 10:23 am - via Reshare - Link
In light of recent events, these ads have taken on a new meaning for me: Mac is 100% negative, all the time. instead of focusing on their own features, which are actually good, the focus exclusively on bashing their competitor. They use outright lies with no basis of fact. Conversely, Microsoft has introduced a completely positive "campaign", based on the potential of their offering. Remind you of anything? - Chris Hollander
(re-shared because my comments are really not related to the comments from the original posting). - Chris Hollander
example of outright lie based on fact: the producers of this commercial have absolutely *no idea* how much money their competitor devotes to advertising vs. maintenance. - Chris Hollander
the V-word, Off the Air, and Pizza box commercials are "more of the same". when viewed all together, the Mac adds have turned a corner from "hip and contrarian" to downright Rovian. They don't even try to promote their products anymore... they just constantly ridicule their competition. Conversely, their iPhone adds are very positive, but also highly inaccurate. - Chris Hollander
I thought it was pretty lame when Apple was running commercials on CNBC for the iPhone showing 3G speeds that were clearly unrealistic and not what someone who buys one ends up with. I'm not sure how it's legal for them to advertise that way. It was a very misleading advert and I think reflects poorly on Apple. - Thomas Hawk
LOL Chris.. So the Apple Campaign would be labeled Tech-ist. :) - Chris W
I like the ads and think they've got a funny spin. Microsoft's recent was a pretty good as well, but two years too late, and Apple does point out the obvious which is that Microsoft hasn't addressed the vista issues at all. The mac vs pc ads are getting a bit tired, would like to see some cleaner fresher ads for mac. - Evan Asano
These ads aren't really....creative anymore. You already know you're about to be hit over the head with another anti-Microsoft stereotype that may or may not be quite as true as they depict it. Increasingly, if you've seen one of these ads, you've seen them all. Time for something really new...which could also be said of their Mac product line, while I'm on about it. Things are getting stale in/around Cupertino. - abacab
I love John Hodgeman so much that I didn't even notice the downturn of this campaign. It's preaching to the choir while exacerbating Apple stereotypes to everyone else. I'm beginning to understand what it means to be part of the base being energized. It's harder to recognize from behind the curtain. PS: My new MacBook arrives this week. Woot! - Kevin Fox
wow... apparently, i had this revelation at juuuust about the same time as these dudes: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008... - Chris Hollander

50 Stunning Underwater Photos | Inspiration | Smashing Magazine
October 20 at 4:25 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
"Of all the different types of photography showcased on Smashing Magazine, underwater photography is probably one of the most difficult to practice. It requires a very specialized equipment and the knowledge of some advanced techniques to get a perfect picture. You need to get the correct exposure, accurate focus, controlled movement of your subject and a pleasing color balance; you also have to deal with low light. Underwater photos offen suffer from loss of color and contrast when taken at a significant depth. Such photos are always adjusted with color balance to help offset the blueish tint of the water." - Michael Fidler via Bookmarklet
This is awesome. I have an unrelated story that is somewhat significant, but my girlfriend and her college friends went to the IMAX theater in Boston to watch underwater magic in 3-D. I was blown away by how much beautiful and lively things are under the ocean's surface( especially at night), and how much damage man is doing to the coral reefs and micro-organisms via dumping, pollution, and drilling. - Terence Washington
It's not off topic, there pictures. - Michael Fidler
