Bookmarked: Watch the Apple Keynote’s Network Meltdown — Gizmodo

Watch the Apple Keynote’s Network Meltdown — Gizmodo – “WWDC keynotes are usually carefully orchestrated affairs. But you might have just read in our live blog how Steve Jobs had to bail on a demo because of network trouble. Awkward. Apple attempted to do their demo over Wi-Fi, but as you can see couldn’t manage to get things up and running due to overload. So Jobs had to ask everyone in the audience, repeatedly, to shut off their Wi-Fi so the show could go on. A bizarre hiccup for a company in its prime, showing off its latest wares.”

Bookmarked: Packing a Parachute — ISM’s Travel + Marketing Blog

Packing a Parachute — ISM’s Travel + Marketing Blog – "This post is about the fundamentals for anyone going to give a presentation. I lovingly refer to this as The Holy Sh*t Kit but it can also lovingly be referred to as the Presentation Disaster Kit. It’s everything you need if you show up to presentation and everything goes wrong."

Always make the most junior team member carry this unless that person is me. (Sadly I’m old enough now that that rarely happens!)

Booher Banter: Presentation Disasters: Recovery Tips – "So far so good. Then just as I clicked on the one and only slide that they really needed to see (versus the other humorous ones), the computer froze. The remote would not move it backward or forward. I stroll to the keyboard itself and click it. No luck. Fortunately, the A/V crew appeared from behind the stage immediately to handle the situation."
