I have given several presentations over the years from 30-60-90 minutes. This was by far the hardest one. The main problem is the automatic slide transitions force you to provide a verbal transition that has to be timed perfectly. I didn't want to let the slide turn and then talk, I wanted to lead the slide 5 seconds before transition. The room to "riff" is micro-thin. Maybe a word or phrase, but you have to stick to the script otherwise you get ahead or behind. I am glad it's over, I was making myself crazy with it. I actually changed 5 entire slides the night before. My son thought they were dumb. :) Thanks again, see you today. Thanks! I have given several presentations over the years from 30-60-90 minutes.

However, I must admit, you were following a tough act. For the record, my wife @kirstennet was in the audience today, and yours was her favorite of the Pecha Kucha presentations. In any case, nicely done. Those Pecha Kucha presentations look really hard to do (much harder than longer presentations which are much more forgiving). Cheers, Dharmesh Glen,
