SLIP, SLIDECASTING, AWAY!
From Dave Davison at Thoughts Illustrated:
“Here is a test presentation of a new slideshare feature I have been waiting for. Combine your slideshare presentations with an audio track and Voila! an audiographic presentation. Voice over PPT – Very effective for rehearsal or for cleaning up and redubbing a previous audio recording of your presentations. Also useful as soundbite creator for selected segments of a presentation. And, all nicely microformatted by Slideshare to support remixing. Could be a new style of podcasting.”
Here is the slidecast that Dave was writing about, “Differentiation and Engagement” by Garr Reynolds at Presentation Zen ( kudos on the blog name, Garr !):

ART SYMMETRY
Something completely different. The youtube clip below (hat tip to Dave Davison)is a stunning visual mash-up of famous female faces throughout the history of Western Art.
What struck me was the consistency with which symmetry was a critical element in the conception of female beauty. This affinity for an even facial structure and large eyes in fellow humans may be more of a “hard-wired” brain preference than a simple cultural affectation of Westerners.
Who should your spokesperson be ? If they are going to be presenting in visual mediums, then it would help your message if they have a symmetrical face. Your vision is framed more powerfully than any words you may hear.
