Funny story...
Back in 2004 (I think), a bunch of us went down to SellsCon.
I was scheduled to give a talk on Web Services Versioning.
The day prior to my talk, Whit Kemmey from the DOD did a talk titled: Using XML for Navy Missile Systems.
During his talk, he would pull up some cool pictures of various US submarines every few slides and everyone loved it.
That night I added a few US submarines pictures to my deck, just to spice things up.
Just as I hit save on the deck, I had a great idea.
A few months before the conference, Don Box was taking some press release photos and he had a few of the "outtakes" on his laptop.
I managed to get one of these photos, add a little caption, and insert it into my slides.
So the progression is:
- A talk from someone in the DOD on using XML in Navy Missile Systems
- Their talk has pictures of subs in it.
- My talk is the next day.
- I have pictures of subs in my talk.
- After you see some pictures of subs (to remind you of the talk from the previous day -- about using XML in Navy Missile Systems), I show the below:
