Ignite Seattle
posted in Technology, Aviation |I’m almost ready for my talk at Ignite Seattle tonight. I am a bit nervous about how well it will go over. Unlike my disaster at the PDC ‘03 I’m prepared, but of course the format is very strict and so its not clear how effective I’m going to be getting across some information in 5 minutes of 20 slides each for an exact 15 seconds. Its a pretty rough format.
When I learned this stuff it was in a 3 day course. So the 3 days -> 5 minutes thing is an obvious limitation. Compared to the initial write-up of the topic and first draft of my slides I’m not going to spend as much time as I thought on some side topics like comparing aircraft and car engines and I had to cut my slides on magnetos / timing. I just realized as I went over the talk many times that trying to squeeze that extra stuff in there really was limiting my ability to get across the more central points. The whole thing is still a fire-hose of information.
I’m excited, it should be cool.
