I believe a talk is much more than a slide deck, and thus always aim to provide a collection of resources, links, related content that will be useful.<\/p>\n<p>You will almost never see me come armed with PowerPoint. I use a wide array of presentation tools and approaches, including web-based SPLOTpoint, Reveal.js, Keynote, Wikis, and once a StoryBox. And likely a few more I cannot recall.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got past slide decks squirreled away on Slideshare (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/cogdog\">http:\/\/www\/slideshare.net\/cogdog<\/a>) but now prefer to post them to Speaker Deck (<a href=\"https:\/\/speakerdeck.com\/cogdog\">https:\/\/speakerdeck.com\/cogdog<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Until August 2018 I kept an archive of these materials on a Wikispaces site (<a href=\"http:\/\/cogdog.wikispaces.com\/\">http:\/\/cogdog.wikispaces.com\/<\/a>) but since they yanked the plug on their entire platform, my materials have come home where they should be, in a domain of my own.<\/p>\n<p>This is a work in progress\u00a0 (<a href=\"http:\/\/bones.cogdogblog.com\/wikispaced\/cogdog\/\">an ugly archive of the Wikispaces site exists<\/a>).<\/p>\n<span hidden class=\"__iawmlf-post-loop-links\" data-iawmlf-links=\"[{&quot;id&quot;:42,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/cog.dog&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/web-wp.archive.org\\\/web\\\/20260108155054\\\/https:\\\/\\\/cog.dog\\\/&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-23 15:27:16&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:503},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-30 23:05:02&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:503},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-11-06 03:20:32&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:503}],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-11-06T03:20:32+00:00&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:503},&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:95,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/cogdogblog.com&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/web-wp.archive.org\\\/web\\\/20260102182145\\\/https:\\\/\\\/cogdogblog.com\\\/&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-08-27 21:09:09&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-23 09:08:41&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-11-06 03:20:28&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200}],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-11-06T03:20:28+00:00&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:229,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slideshare.net\\\/cogdog&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/web-wp.archive.org\\\/web\\\/20251210042929\\\/https:\\\/\\\/www.slideshare.net\\\/cogdog&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-07-09 18:30:39&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-08-28 06:37:14&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-23 15:27:13&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200}],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-23T15:27:13+00:00&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:230,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/speakerdeck.com\\\/cogdog&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/web-wp.archive.org\\\/web\\\/20251230235633\\\/https:\\\/\\\/speakerdeck.com\\\/cogdog&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-06-20 15:40:52&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-08-28 06:37:18&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-23 15:27:14&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200}],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-23T15:27:14+00:00&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:231,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/cogdog.wikispaces.com&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/web-wp.archive.org\\\/web\\\/20180425140513\\\/http:\\\/\\\/cogdog.wikispaces.com\\\/&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-06-20 15:40:51&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:404},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-08-28 06:37:14&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:404},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-23 15:27:16&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:404}],&quot;broken&quot;:true,&quot;last_checked&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-10-23T15:27:16+00:00&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:404},&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:232,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/bones.cogdogblog.com\\\/wikispaced\\\/cogdog&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/bones.cogdogblog.com\\\/wikispaced\\\/cogdog&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:null,&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;}]\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m Alan Levine, here is my calling card.
