I just got back this video of a presentation that I did last term. We were supposed to do a speech in <5 minutes about some library issue. I actually had to cut a lot from my original speech to get it under time. I was going to tell this story about Emily Dickenson, the famout poet, who had a small handful of items published when she was alive. After she died, her family and friends found the piles and piles of letters and poems that she had written, but they didn’t even know they existed before. If ol’ Em had locked everything up with a password on the PC, then we wouldn’t have the pleasure of studying her in first year English when doing our BA. True story!
We were marked not on content, but on how well we spoke. Basically, if we were as charismatic as Obama we got 110% — I was close but not quite there 
- zoe
i’d vote for you!
I notice that someone had their cell phone near the microphone…
No clapping?
This is very cool. I looked at it from opa’s computer – I have got to tell you that it is deathly slow going from one slide to the next. I have aged beyond my years!!! Can’t have that. Plus – the old computer keeps telling me that the port is unable to read the scanner, change ports, turn things off and on, throw computer against the wall – oh surprise – it works again.
The scanner also is discriminating against indoor pictures. If it deems them too dark (it is very picky) it won’t scan them. This HP is so going back. Do you think that I’ll have better luck with a Canon?
I always have had better luck with Canons. I’m seriously brand loyal.
