Yeah, I learned a lot from this back when it was just a blog. (I don't really present all that much, though, so really it just helped me identify flaws in others' presentations. Doh.)
Agreed! Great book.
I hate trendy presentation with slides containing one or just a few words. It's sexy and effective when well presented and everything, but if you read the slides later alone, or stumble upon them on slideshare, they are completely meaningless.
