- iEnigma, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11I might be dugg down for this, but if you knew you had to give a presentation, why would you get drunk the night before?
- Akaji, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Or go ***** crazy if it's a Microsoft product ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=wvsboPUjrGc )
- Legato, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9completely unrelated, but i feel that every post needs one of these comments:
i just woke up, and was fairly groggy and read "How to get an ass penetration with a hang over" or something close.... freudian slip?! - byrdgang, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8It's probably more than five percent.
- miyamotofreak, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Use Keynote.
- i4mt3hwin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7I have to admit, i was staring at that pie chart for like an hour.
- codered1322, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Be a hot chick.
- mal1964, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6If you believe and love what you re presenting it will be a breeze
- sofaKing812, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9Buried for Larry "The Cable Guy."
- ChromaVita, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5They forgot one thing... Fireworks.
/sarcasm - mal1964, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Because the presentation is on how to give a presentation with a hangover.
- Novion76, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I really need more sleep.
I read it as "how to give ass kick penetration with power"
Like some sort of super kancho.. - Tetraca, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5If it is a Mac related product you are also obligated to say "but there is one more thing....".
- whereisian, on 10/10/2007, -0/+427 Be animated; use hand, arm and body gestures. Don't just stand there and speak.
28. Pace, tone and rhythm. Nothing puts people to sleep faster than a monotone deliver. - mightyslick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4just don't get plowed the night before . EZ
- Burento, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Um your kidneys use water to filer alcohol.. so no you didnt piss it but your body used it up.
- VeniceCA, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Seinfeld speaking at PubCon. "So, what's all this fuss about links..."
- mrfunktastic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3You Fail. The body steals water from the brain, the brain decreases in size, causing pain.
http://health.howstuffworks.com/hangover2.htm - Darth_tater, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3oh ya... thats *always* the case for me. ive never, ever, ever, had to present on something that didn't interest me 100%!
/sarc - Nysul, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Damn, wish I had this back when I was in college. I only really broke one rule (I have a tendency to make slides info-heavy), but I can see now how that was a mistake.
- Evacide, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2should say at least 5 percent
- mal1964, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Some people use alcohol to feel normal in a social setting.
- LowRentDiggs, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"If you expect a hangover, then bribe your chairman to put you last in the day"
Incorrect. You should go on first while you're still drunk then you can sleep the rest of the day. - jtb4, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2For a whole year huh?
- Koldkompress, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I think that's the translated title of some Japanese Hentai..
- Lasereth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2VERY good pointers. I did a lot of presentations in college and the biggest ones for me are:
#1. Look at everyone in the room (in the article as well). Do it over and over so every single person thinks they are important enough to be talked directly to during the presentation. This will score big points.
#2. I know it's been said over and over, but if you truly know the topic, the nervousness will go away and you will master the presentation. And when I say "truly know the topic," I mean you need to be prepared for any type of question asked, any situation given, even stupid questions and comments that will surely come. If you know the material like the back of your hand, you will emanate confidence and your audience will be impressed. Chances are you won't stutter either.
#3. BULLETED POINTS ONLY~!!!!!!! In college our professors would say over and over to never have more than a few bulleted points on a screen at a time and people would come in with a 1,000 character no-break paragraph on each slide and then read it straight from the slide. Can anyone say FAIL. Index cards should have the bulleted points as well, with sub-bullets that the audience can't see if you need it.
#4. DO NOT READ from the slides. You're giving the presentation, not the powerpoint. The powerpoint's job is to reinforce what you're presenting, not present what you're saying. - pubmastertex, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I don't agree with taking aspirin. The pain comes from being dehydrated, so the part about hydrating is correct. Hydrate until you can eat. The ABSOLUTE BEST hydrating agent is Coconut milk. The combination of water, fat, and sugar has turned around my hangover better than anything else I've ever experienced.
- diggface5000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"Speak every chance you can. Submit your name to every conference that you can. Toastmasters - everything - do it all. The more you do it - the easier it gets and the more people will want you back as a speaker."
This is very true. The more you give speeches, the more successes you'll have. Then you'll actually start to WANT to do it...and that is a rare quality that will set you apart from your peers - KillMyGPA, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That's one unconfident email he's writing to himself.
http://www.pubcon.com/blog/gfx/email1.png - frostw, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I pull mine off with a hangover all the time.
- sdcarter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Where's the fun in that?
- TokyoGodfather, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1wha..? f(@.@)?
- PayneX, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1web 3.0 ...dinosaur
- sdigroup, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2web 2.0
- ben1sm4, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Did anyone notice he can't spell? Was the hangover an issue when he wrote this?
- TokyoGodfather, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1*BUMP* for GREAT JUSTICE!!!
from someone who's done it after "rolling" ;)
n i got an A too ;)
But yeah it does help 2 go last.. - DavX, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Well played! However he's not as retarded as the general digg user.
- DavX, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1If you don't want to be successful you don't have to think about the consequences.
- crispee, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Hangover, shmangover. Try giving a presentation after tripping the night before. I had forgotten about the speech and thought I was just going to be in the audience the next day. Then a friend reminded me right as I was peaking. ::sigh:: Ah, college. Those were the days.
Oh, and I got an A. - phuzaFace, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1because if your'e at all spontaneous you'll go on a bender with friends and deal with the consequences later. Its the only way to live IMO
- cbartlett, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You could always just say... "Developers! Developers! Developers!"
- mistercharlie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Evidently, you have never been to a PubCon
- thegenome, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I fell over in the last talk I did and fell into a bin :(
that was hard to recover from... - eldridgea, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11. Smile
- mrfunktastic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1But how are your presentations?
