Below you will find PDF files from some of my recent presentations.  These files are provided as reference material only and are not intended to be used for presentations by others.  Since these slides are designed as an accompaniment to my talks, much of the content naturally will be missing.  Consequently the slides will make the most sense and be the most useful to those who were a part of the presentation itself.  Nonetheless, others are free to read through them to get a glimpse of the kinds of things I am on about.  A few people have also been interested in the design element of my presentations.  I use Keynote software for my presentations and create a lot of the backgrounds from images I feel help to illustrate my points.


Those of you who have seen me speak know that I use a lot of videos and discussion in my presentations; by necessity these are omitted from the PDF files.  In addition, my presentations often involve transitions, animations, and effects that do not always translate well when converting to PDF format.  Consequently some slides may be difficult to read due to overlapping text.  Of course the ideas presented here often overlap with one another and are presented in slightly different ways for different audiences. I do delete older presentations, so this is not a complete archive.
