Personal Presentations

I've sat through a lot of terrible presentations, and walked out of a few.* So I appreciate ideas that lead to better, more relevant presentations. Ideas like this.

* Terrible, eh? Here are five common sins of presenters:

1. Reading slide bullets.
   
2. Verbose waterfalls of bullets, subbullets, and sub-subbullets.
   
3. Using standard PowerPoint backgrounds. Particularly those that look "high tech."
4. Double digit slide counts.
5. For each slide, double digit word counts.
