Presentation Zen is a blog devoted to issues related to professional presentations. Think NOT PowerPoint and you’re already on the right track. In a recent posting Hans Rosling: Don”t just show the notes, play the music! he analyzes the process of breathing life into statistics.
And if you like data that comes to life, you”ll also love the video of T.E.D. (Technology, Entertainment, Design) speaker Jonathan Harris who crawls blogs for emotions and then creates interactive presentations like “We Feel Fine“. Ever wanted to navigate through 7.5 million emotions?
Helpful hint: at the bottom of any TED presentation is a link to download the presentation to your iPod. I watch them on my iPhone while riding the subway, but they also play just fine on video iPods or audio only devices.
