Come check 'em out if you get a chance!

Disclaimer: Blatently plagerized from Greg's post!

I'm really digging this tag-team presentation style. It lets one person have a little bit of downtime to mentally prepare for their next part while the other person does their thing.

Greg and I still do post-mortems and refine the presentation every time that we do it: we watch the audience and make note of where people were falling asleep, and then decide to either improve that section of the agenda, or drop it altogether. And, of course, we've made it part of the show to make an actual sacrifice to the Presentation Gods (hoping that this gesture somehow makes the gremlins go into hiding).
