Bullets are dangerous

A lot of what I do revolves around presentations. As an engineer and as a student. Both as presenter and as audience. At conferences, in the office, at school, practically everywhere. Even church. (I was the guest lecturer pulpit guest on Labor Day Sunday, which was basically a presentation without PowerPointTM.)

PowerpointTM. Anyone that has seen more that two PowerPointTM presentations has seen a bad one.

Even Edward Tufte, the legend of presenting data, has a booklet on PowerPointTM presentations.

But as my public service for today, in order to make (my) world a better place, I give you Death by PowerpointTM, an excelent tutorial on presentations. Review it while preparing your next presentation, it will make it better.

The happiest place on earth…
