Great Presentations
Watching Chris Brogan’s slide deck made me think about the other truly great presentations I’ve seen over the last decade. They are truly rare.
Here’s my short list that I’d love to learn to mimic:
Dick Hardt’s Identity 2.0 – saw this one in NYC in 2005, truly wonderful.
David Weinberger always does a great job as well. His presentations tend to be part photograph, part hand-writing. Check out this one he did recently to the Googles.
Ewan on The Future of TV
Ewan Spence (TPN’s Rock Show, PSP Show, Edinburgh Festival Show… have I forgotten any??) spoke on a panel in Edinburgh yesterday about the future of TV. Read Kevin Anderson’s coverage for The Guardian (and watch for my video podcast inteview with Kevin that’ll be up here in a few days). Read Ewan’s statements in the article and then tell me if he reminds you of anyone…
