World’s Best Presentation Contest on SlideShare
I wasn’t going to blog about this (trying to keep this blog from becoming the Shift Happens blog), but there’s been a little bit of confusion so I wanted to clear things up.
A “stylized” version of the Did You Know/Shift Happens presentation was selected the winner by the judges of SlideShare’s World’s Best Presentation Contest (and second place by the “people”). I do not deserve the credit for this, Jeff Brenman does. Jeff is a recent graduate of Northwestern University (I’m a not-so-recent grad) and is starting his own design business. He asked me if he could remix Did You Know/Shift Happens and submit it to the contest. I said sure, he did, and it ended up winning (with some pretty impressive judges – Guy Kawasaki, Bert Decker, Garr Reynolds, and Jerry Weissman).
Take a few minutes and watch Jeff's presentation (also embedded below), as well as the other winners – to get ideas about how to improve your next presentation. Congratulations Jeff!

What is the music accompanying Shift Happens?
Hi there! You have a great blog here! Have you had a chance to check out Great Education Colorado?
Karl,
The music for Shift Happens is awesome! Like the other post - yourmaman - I'd like to know the name of the music so I can get it. Found the video interesting!!

The music is a mix of three tracks from the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack, available at fine music stores everywhere, as well as online at iTunes or Amazon.
hahaha!!! I knew it!! I could just see Daniel Day Lewis leaping through the forest...wonderful music, wonderful presentation!
Karl,
Hey, thanks for the taking the time to let us know about the music!
