Did a lot of thinking before this moment…
This is like
explaining
driving to my
grandmother?
2
I wonder how many
times I can say the
word metadata in
this talk?
I wonder if the
LCD projector
will show all my
PowerPoint
colors?
Let’s see how
many times I can
put more that 6
ideas on a slide?
PowerPoint sure is acting
slow… I wonder if I have
that MSBlaster WORM
on my system?
