This deck contains slides I have used in live talks that (more or less) are simple and contain quite a bit of empty space. The first set are some before/after examples, followed by a random sample. This deck is not meant to tell a story -- this is just a way to show some random examples. The meaning of the slides may not be at all clear without the narration that goes with the slides.

These slides are from several different
presentations and will not be very
meaningful without narration. Yet they
are pretty good examples of
combining text and images in slides
that complement a live talk.
