Battledecks and Pecha Kucha at PodCamp Boston 4

Part of PodCamp Boston 4 last weekend was the so called Battledecks and Pecha Kucha.

Pecha Kucha is when presenters have 20 slides, and only 20 seconds allowed per slide for their presentation, making a presentation just shy of 7 minutes long.

Battledecks is another presentation challenge. Like Pecha Kucha, each presenter is giving 20 slides, with about 30 seconds per slide, but the speaker has no idea what slide is coming up next. This means there is a total improv presentation, based on the surprise slides that randomly go up.


Gradon Tripp (@gradontripp) participated in Battledecks and Pecha Kucha at PodCamp Boston 4. The reason I am writing about this is that Gradon presented my slideshow "24 Reasons why Twitter Sucks!". You can see the video below. Remember he's never seen this slide show before but as part of the "battle", he's presenting it. Awesome job!

The video was made by @trishofthetrade and the picture was made by @jonathanbloom Thanks!

Don't Cheat on Your Time Sheet

A consultant dies on in a fishing accident on his 40th birthday and finds himself greeted at the Pearly Gates by a brass band. Saint Peter runs over, shakes his hand and says, “Congratulations!”

“Congratulations for what?” asks the consultant.

“We are celebrating the fact that you lived to be 160 years old,” Saint Peter exclaims.

“But that’s not true,” says the consultant. “I only lived to be 40.”

“That’s impossible,” says Saint Peter, “we added up your time sheets.”
