Where a clown is rendered in shadows and on stage

September 17, 2008 by Colin

Voila, people. My presentation from today at the ALI Social Media for Government conference.  Since I try to follow the 10/20/30 rule, you will not be able to use this presentation as a moving backdrop to your spoken word denunciation of the egos and self-importance of “social media gurus.”

I’ll let you in on a secret: everything I learned about public speaking i learned by participating in “subway debates” at Trinity College.

You can also follow the twitter blow-by-blow from @thornley, @markgoren, @quepol and others: Twitter search log here.

(the clown in shadows reference is to the second slide of my deck)

    Liber generationis Jesu Christi

    “Lo, it is nearly 350 years that we and our fathers have inhabited this most lovely land, and never before has such terror appeared in Britain as we have now suffered from a pagan race, nor was it thought that such an inroad from the sea could be made. Behold, the church of St. Cuthbert spattered with the blood of the priests of God, despoiled of all its ornaments; a place more venerable than all in Britain is given as a prey to pagan peoples.”
