I dumped my iPhone 4 for a (European version of the) Samsung Galaxy S2 this summer. Well, I actually dumped iOS for Android first – the choice of phone came second. I love my customized home screens and the control over my phone and being free of iTunes. I’ll stick around with Android for a while. Maybe my next phone will this upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note – it comes with a stylus. It would be to almost go full circle to my once beloved Handspring Prism I had ages ago. I really like the idea of a thin tipped stylus with my phone – doodling with your finger just isn’t the same thing. But then – I might not ever get “off the phone”…

A couple of years ago I was randomly searching the world wide web for more on presentation design and came across an upcoming conference on PowerPoint in San Diego. Not too far from Sacramento, I decided at the spur of the moment to sign up and spent 3 awesome days with others like me, exploring presentations from all different angles. It’s a conference like no other and you leave energized and full of new knowledge.

This year, my 4th year as a patron, The Presentation Summit, the “conference for presenters, presentation designers and powerpoint junkies”, takes place in Austin, Texas and the seminars look just as good as usual.
