http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2006/02/10/437961.aspxThis is totally off-topic but this is a must-watch for anyone doing presentations in front of an audience. The contents is pretty interesting in itself (the concept of electronic identity) but the form of the presentation is what will blow you away.

If everything has to be judged against the theory of Relativity or the polio vaccine, pretty much everything becomes meaningless and futile.</p> <img src="http://weblogs.asp.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3107812" width="1" height="1">http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2006/02/10/437961.aspx#3107739Wed, 11 Jul 2007 20:17:51 GMTc06e2b9d-981a-45b4-a55f-ab0d8bbfdc1c:3107739Paul RealistPaul Realist<p>Here I had thought Einstein&#39;s discovery of the theory of relativity, or Jonas Salk&#39;s development of a polio vaccine were absolutely brilliant. &nbsp;I was wrong. &nbsp;Creating this presentation by spending a gazillion hours making seperate slides out of every word, capturing frame after frame on internet web sites, making the audience dizzy and bored after a couple minutes, that is truly brilliant. &nbsp;I had to stop watching after less than half of it was over, it was just too good to handle. &nbsp;Thank you, marketing geniuses, for pointing this mind blowing presentation. &nbsp;God Bless PowerPoint!</p> <img src="http://weblogs.asp.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3107739" width="1" height="1">http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2006/02/10/437961.aspx#438271Wed, 15 Feb 2006 14:43:00 GMTc06e2b9d-981a-45b4-a55f-ab0d8bbfdc1c:438271Chris Brogan...Chris Brogan...Bill- I absolutely LOVED this presentation, but what you've gotta appreciate is this: the first time I learned of it, I *heard* the presentation on the podcast ITConversations. Can you imagine? I was blown away in AUDIO ONLY. When I finally got to see what the crowd saw, I wanted to BE Dick Hardt. And now, with his slideshow, I CAN! Muahahaha. Oh.

So much better than death-by-PowerPoint! The first time I saw this style was at RubyConf 2005. I gave a 90 second, 20 slide presentation at my local .NET user group last month using a similar method. <br> <br>Jim Weirich has a great Ruby on Rails presentation using a very similar presentation method.
