A few years ago I was searching the internet for information about PowerPoint to use in a lecture for a business class I was teaching. I came across a really funny video on how not to use PowerPoint. It was by a comedian named Don McMillan, who has a very interesting background. To quote from his website Technically Funny:
“Don McMillan graduated from Stanford University with a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering in 1982. (He has a BSEE from Lehigh University) He went to work for AT&T Bell Laboratories where he worked as part of the team that designed the world’s first 32-bit Microprocessor. He then moved to the Silicon Valley (San Jose, California) where he worked at VLSI Technology as a computer chip designer. During his 6 years at VLSI he designed more than 50 Standard and ASIC Designs many of which are still out there today.
After winning the 16th Annual San Francisco International Stand-Up Comedy Competition in 1991, Don turned in his chips for a microphone. He went on to be $100,000 Grand Champion on “Star Search” in 1993. He’s had numerous television appearances including “The Tonight Show” on NBC, CNN’s “The Larry King Show”, MTV’s “Half Hour Comedy Hour”, and A&E’s “Evening at the Improv”.”
Here’s the first video I ever saw with Don McMillan. It’s called Life After Death by PowerPoint:
He has another video that I watched for the first time today, called The New Office Math:
Enjoy. More videos are on YouTube and McMillan’s website, Technically Funny.
