We are the new national champions! 41-14 against Ohio last night, it was such a great game to watch!

From the venture capitalist Guy Kawasaki, here’s a good general tip for creating presentations with slides:

“A PowerPoint presentation should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, and contain no font smaller than thirty points.”

Now I am a big fan of short, to-the-point presentations, even presentations without slides. Bloated slides take audience’s attention away from the presenter, and thus defeating the whole point of making a presentation – it’s not a reading session, but a time for you to showcase your subject matter expertise and/or convenience the audience to take the next action step, not that you can put together some PPTs.

Housing

To further demonstrate my point of housing hitting the bottom and rebounding, here’s a great article with housing data that just came out today:

U.S. Existing Home Sales Rose 0.6% in November to 6.28 Mln Rate – Bloomberg

Conclusion: I’m bullish as I always was.

A large part of my job is to gather huge amounts of raw data and draw conclusions from these raw data. In a sense, I predict the future based on mathematical models. That is why I find myself relating to everything this article represents. In my opinion, Math Will Rock Your World is one of the best articles of 2006, and the missing link to Friedman’s The World Is Flat.
