bald eagles

mwickens twitter blurbMark Wickens points us this morning to this video of a pair of bald eagles and their chicks in Sydney, BC.

When I was in BC last summer I saw a pair of bald eagles at Willows Beach in Oak Bay in Victoria.

I managed to get a couple of photos of the birds. Here’s how I described it on my photoblog:

Tried to speed walk nearly the entire length of the beach. Walked barefoot across stones, rocks, and jagged boulders. Came close to falling and smashing several hundreds of dollars worth of camera gear. Nearly stepped on broken glass while trying to avoid the fall. Got bug bites on my ankles that kept me from sleeping through the night for nearly two weeks afterwards. Seeing these two bald eagles in the wild at Willows Beach in Oak Bay in British Columbia? Worth every single one of those poorly thought out, risky, and painful steps.

Here are two of those photos:

presentation design

One of the things that has captured my imagination over the last few months is presentation design. Ever since stumbling across the work of people like Garr Reynolds and Nancy Duarte, I’ve spent a good deal of time thinking about presentation design and trying it out whenever I can.

Earlier today I came across a Google Docs presentation on the Agenda website with the bios for the current crop of candidates for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario.

I decided to see what I could do with the exact same information. Let me know what you think.

(DISCLAIMER: The terms of my employment require me to be neutral in this race so this exercise is not an endorsement of any candidate. All elements of this presentation were taken from the original done by the folks at the Agenda. Photos were chosen from those published by the candidates themselves and selected for resolution quality.)
