Pecha-Kucha Presentations

Just today someone here at work introduced me to the idea of 20x20 PowerPoint presentations. They sent me a link to Daniel Pink's Blog and an entry he made regarding this. He actually gives an example tht is pretty good. he talks about emotionally intelligent signage. Anyhow, a 20x20 presentation is 20 slides that each display for 20 seconds. This comes out to a total of 6 miutes and 40 seconds of information. The slides advance themselves and the presenter must only use the time alloted. This got me thinking about the white space of a presentation, the dead air. It seems to me that we need to get better at using this. , by we I mean me. A great example of the use of white space is in Rob Bells Nooma video entitled "Noise" (the preview only shows some of what I am talking about). The other thing that this gets me thinking about is the typical use of title slides. With the 20x20 idea you need to make better use of a title slide and actually have it convey information.
