brilliant presentation on identity

It’s bad enough watching most powerpoint presentations in person, so I almost never am willing to watch a streaming video of one after the fact. But as I was cleaning out my inbox today, I stumbled across a link a colleague had sent me to a presentation at this years OSCON (Open Source Conference) by Dick Hardt of Sxip.

I would have deleted it, if it hadn’t included glowing recommendations from both Cory Doctorow and Larry Lessig—two people whose opinions I don’t dismiss lightly. So I took a chance and clicked on the link.

Wow.

Now that’s a good presentation. Visually effective, great style, good enough to survive transformation into a low-bitrate streaming presentation.

(Update: Had I read more of the archives of Presentation Zen, I would have realized that Hardt uses a style much like that of Larry Lessig [whom I’ve never had the privilege of meeting or even listening to], and which has even been named “The Lessig Method.”)
