I was asked to give a TED Talk-style presentation for a group of 50-60 singles at church. It was an honor to be asked, there were only a few presenters, and we have a pretty sharp audience.
My instructions were simply: share something interesting, about whatever I wanted.
"Thoughtful design" is a topic I have been thinking about lately, especially in context of my work. My job involves creating government policy. If I do it well, citizens benefit; if I am careless, we waste taxpayer dollars and progress stalls. So thoughtful design is something I try to apply to everything I do, especially where it involves costing others effort. I never want to waste anybody's time. (I believe in that for making presentations, too.)
Topics covered here, to pique your interest: fish coloration, automobile interfaces, how to properly serve milk, the squirrel population around the White House, and why you shouldn't pull your pants up too high.
The evening turned out great! This was one of my favorite presentations so far, and I've given quite a few.
