In Presentation styles, I wrote about my first attempt at using Lessig style for a presentation.
I've done it again since -- once at the German anti-phishing symposion in Bochum (slides in German), where my point was that security technology can't really work if it ignores the constraints and possibilities of an underlying platform (and where I talked about some of the work of the Web Security Context Working Group) --, and at a panel at W3C's AC meeting in Banff, where our theme was what the failure modes are that keep security technology from getting deployed.
For that last talk, I'll admit that I was about to do a "normal" powerpoint-like presentation (but using slidy, Dave Raggett's XHTML + Javascript based presentation tool for once; authoring Lessig-style with that one is actually an uphill battle). After a while, I gave up in frustration: Turns out that, once you've done that other presentation style for a short while, you don't go back to standard powerpoints that easily. The talk actually went reasonably well.
I still expect to go back to usual powerpoint style for the next two or three talks that I'll need to prepare, though -- simply because they'll be much more like lectures in character than the recent talks have been.
