Thanks for the great review! Yes...you are right. I don't like lecturing...I like conversing. It's much better for learning...so much knowledge in the audience. As for the PA stuff. Great feedback and, I think, bang on. Marc is a master of presentation, but what I keep telling him is that, in the end, the motivation has to be there for people to actually care...and I don't see it yet. His idea of being able to control your own information is bang-on, though. And you are right...do we really want to merge ALL of our identities? I certainly don't. I'm different things to different communities. Either way, the feedback is awesome and I'll have to remind Marc to be more patient (a virtue he doesn't seem to have learnt) and work through these very real issues before forging ahead too much. Nice finally meeting you! Talk to you soon! Hey Hollyster!

The stark dichotomy made it very entertaining as to why I put the title "The Best BayCHI yet". However, I do think style peeks into how the person approaches problem solving, and community. Honesty, strong opinions and enthusiastic style is great, but don't do it in a way where you're squashing conversation. Oh for sure I wasn’t disappointed =).

Marc takes a little getting used to - I will never forget the first talk I heard him at in which I was put off by him before he even got on stage (he was heckling from the back row). However, once he starts talking, and you can appreciate his brute honesty, strong opinions, and enthusiastic style his performance will not disappoint. How many other speakers break out into song when an audience member's comment strikes their chord? I really liked both talks.
