The editors of PresentationXpert were kind enough to publish an article of mine called “It was a Disaster” in their June issue. Here’s a brief excerpt:

Many people consider the 1970s the golden age of the big Hollywood disaster movie and it’s fair to say that Airport, The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno are usually the first films that come to mind whenever this genre is mentioned. But disaster movies never go completely out of style and every year we’re offered new opportunities to consider the ways in which things can go completely and terribly wrong.

I’ve decide to get back into blogging again with a new project called Breaking Murphy’s Law . Instead of dealing with an extremely broad area of subject matter like Visual Being, this blog will focus on one specific topic:

There are a lot of things that can go wrong when you’re a presenter (or when you are supporting someone else’s presentation). This site is going to try to help you break Murphy’s Law so Murphy’s Law can’t break you.

More details about how and why the blog came about can be found in this post.

Also unlike my previous blogs, I hope to post less often and concentrate more on original content. The plan is to post a longish piece on Wednesdays with a brief weekly link roundup on Friday.

Please check it out when you get a chance and let me know what you think.

I know it’s a little late for this sort of thing, but 2007 was so busy that January was sort of an additional month tacked on to tie up the loose ends.

The main reason it was so busy was the three major FDA Advisory Committee Meeting presentations. This isn’t the first time we’ve done this many in a calendar year, but they were timed so it almost seemed like I was in “ACM mode” all 12 months.

Unfortunately, the timing of those meetings also meant missing InfoComm again. I absolutely have to get there this year since I need to earn some CTS renewal credits by the end of October. Unfortunately, it’s in Las Vegas again.

In any event, I’m hoping to get to more energy on the InfoComm Presentations Council in 2008 and I’m guessing I’m going to be more active in HeSCA again.

Here’s hoping we all have a great 2008!

I’ll be transitioning my site from a MediaWiki implementation to something a little more visually appealing over the next few weeks. Until I can get the permanent navigation set up on the left, use these links to access content: My portfolio, my resume, email me.
