@ Innovations 2010

My thanks to those who rose early to see the presentation yesterday and my apologies to those who could not get in to see it. I wish I had thought to leave my business cards outside the room so those who were turned away could have got to my web site and the links to this blog and the file for the PowerPoint. Next time I will know better.

I did give the file to the conference and eventually you will be able to download the file through the web site for the conference. You can get to the web site by clicking the title of this post.

I knew the room was too small but decided to not ask for a bigger one since I could not be sure that it would fill up. Even though every time I give this at a conference the room fills up. I should have asked for a bigger room. But when I thought about going to do this it seems so presumptuous.

Someone asked about the animation of the titles on my slides and when I polled the audience there were others who agreed that it was annoying. The truth is that everything you put on a slide should be there for a reason and that includes animation. I revised the slides to make the words appear faster. But I am considering removing the animation from most of the titles.  Like Horatio, my philosophy needs expanding.

The name of the file on my home page is e6.pptx but if the number really reflected the number of times that I have changed it, then it would be 506. And still there is much room for improvement in it.

An opera singer once gave many encores at a concert and finally one of the audience yelled out that he had to keep it up until he got it right. I too will have to keep giving it and modifying it until I get it right.

Thoughts?
