At COGAIN

Here's the speaker's setup at COGAIN. This fellow went right after me, so my talk was given in similar conditions. I think the lack of a screen was a bit of a problem: the air vents on the projection wall tend to mask out the actual slide content. Otherwise though, I think the conference is quite well organized. We had a nice PA system so I did what I like to do just prior to giving a talk: play some tunes! Today I played the Blue Hawaiians which I thought set the mood nicely. Turns out I think I like these long talks. I had no trouble going on for 50 minutes. The timer on Apple's Keynote is very helpful. I just hope that I don't speak too quickly through my second talk later this afternoon.
