Egregious use of slide animation on the first three slides of a deck someone posted on the net convinced me

I don't need to see the rest of the slides that much.
I won't be taking the training class this person is offering.

Introducing oneself as "I am a Six Sigma Black Belt" repeatedly does not actually inspire confidence about your software project management skills for those who a) know that six sigma is a reference to (little) variance in a million items that are supposed to be identical
b) get bored easily.

But it inspires confidence about your ability to kick someone's ass... or something :p

""Human Capital Consultant" -- job title I just came across. (sigh, shaking head)

That sounds pretty ugly...

Today's speaker keeps saying he, he, he. All the roles are populated by men in his examples. I know it's harder to get it right when speaking than writing, but it is SO annoying to be disappeared like this. I exist. I am not "guys", I am not "he". It makes me discount the rest of what he's saying. Poor messaging.

You should be talking Finnish, "hän" is a gender neutral he/she. It's quite convenient :-)

Perhaps it's time to face the facts and buy a bigger game cabinet. Or should I simply purge the less-played ones?

I'm going to assume you're still interested in the Ninjas, Brogrammers, and Sparkly Code Princesses panel at Penguicon (see email I sent).

Thinking of putting together a tech culture/hiring panel for Penguicon 2013: "Ninjas, Brogrammers, and Sparkly Code Princesses", interested?

@configures absolutely...if for the title alone

Jer Lance at 2012-11-14T14:37:36+00:00

Yes, I like the title too! :-)
