    I would be interested in seeing others examples of Presentation Zen influence. I'm practicing making tutorial videos with Camtasia & PowerPoint. This is my second practice http://www.screencast.com/t/7NqhAuCUISS I still have a lot to learn.

    Comments and improvement suggestions invited

    Anybody who has experienced the pain of sitting through too many PowerPoint presentations, listening to the speaker reading aloud the 2nd bullet while you've finished reading and understanding the slide 30 seconds ago will appreciate the fresh breeze that presentationzen introduces. However, a lot of the examples tend to use a great many slides to convey relatively simple messages. I've seen one example using where slide 20 should actually have been the first slide. So while seductive, the danger for contentless or content-poor presentations lures. And it still remains to be seen whether we can use the new style in domains where a pyramid of (complex) knowledge needs to be built, such as in science and engineering. I would like to see some examples from this field.
