An interesting PDF that, in my case at least, isn't verbose enough to
understand the whole talk given.  These are slides from a conference,
and the speaker did the correct thing which is to not put every word on
the slide.  Hard to follow, but interesting nonetheless.

Ah, the hated "slide-script".

I've lost track of how many training sessions I've been forced to sit
through where the speaker did nothing more than read the slide deck to
us, as he/she paged it across a projector.

If all they were going to do was read the deck, word for word, to us,
we could just have been given the deck, and some quiet time, and told
"read it yourself, front to back".

To mis-quote Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons - worst presentation ever
