That's one reason so many public speakers have Hawai'ian shirts. Women can also wear monster-high heels, as it makes them easier to see (It's not a "sexy" thing; it's a "see me" thing. There are some very conservative women's shoes, with very high heels).
I'm not a particularly good public speaker (but I've done a fair bit -why is everyone asleep?), so I need all the help I can get. I have a number of them.
I have a friend that has a .sig that says "Speak softly, and wear a loud shirt."
He has a lot of loud shirts.
Why though?
That's me!
I’m not consistent, so I’m not on anyone’s shortlist for keynote speaker, which is fine by me.
For classes, though, I practice for hours. It seems to satisfy people.
When it's a skill interesting or essential enough to improve it might be worth for speakers to move around trying different support organizations to get new perspectives, and different techniques and feedback.
Interestingly, I was in The Wine Room, Palo Alto about 2011 hanging out with a business partner. I see this dude who's drunk af leaning against the window. He gets up, stumbles over to me, and says "Tell me a joke." I gave him the worst joke I could think of recycled from a girl I met the day before. The reasons is it was Guy Kawasaki and he always needs fresh jokes for public speaking, so crowdsourcing is one way to accumulate them. Oddly enough, Garage Ventures used to be above Nola's across the street from The Wine Room before it went over to 1 First St 2nd floor above my client's office in Los Altos.
Speaking of which, I need to lose 40 lbs. to get from a size 40" waist back to 32-34". I wear bright, geometric or paisley button shirts unbuttoned over interesting t-shirts.
If I’m buying a xxl from target I ain’t slim. They do the same with jeans too.
Pro tip: Never wear a grey sweater.
Colors show up on video much differently than real life, so it's good to see how it looks on screen.
Like, I've made different generative art that hangs on my walls. This one is a random blobs, colored based on 4 color theorem using a constraint solver. https://imgur.com/a/TKPnvVx I feel him wearing shirts of these kind of ideas/patterns would be cool/fitting.
Is your art published anywhere online?
I can really recommend this video as a primer: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4Se0_w0ISYk Tim Holman goes through various simple techniques. You can see my picture starts with the circles+tiling combination, for instance. Fascinating how simple stuff can become cool pictures.
I've only dabbled a few evenings here and there, so don't have too much else to show, really. But this is what me and some coworkers made after a workshop: https://i.imgur.com/NJbjcgD.jpg
But someone I used to work with does this semi professionally, take a look at his cool stuff: https://generated.space/
And some friends made this for generating demos in little code: https://www.dwitter.net/top/all
You need colorful shirts to distract people from their dopamine time-suck glowing screen notification video games.
But regardless of the reasons, the last one done from a subway map is awesome on its own :-).
The claims struck me as a bit unlikely, but helped explain its widespread adoption in higher education beyond differences in taste. A quick searching suggests that there is little evidence for the claims made about it, but I can see why some would still use it.
Still, at least it’s not Papyrus.
There is a correlation between playful and expertise in many fields. I keep noticing that the greats are often surprisingly light-hearted and playful, with an ever-present sense of humour. A twinkle in the eye belongs to both joyous playfulness and inspired genius, and (relaxed) creativity is a part of both.
