A natural ham

I'd like to follow-up the previous post with something more Sean-positive. A sort of yin and yang, if you will. There are times when I will describe his absurdity because it's either funny or just because I want to embarrass him. (He's a good sport). But this post is to express how proud he makes me and to brag about the amazing talk he gave at Webvisions over the weekend.

Honestly, I do not know a more articulate and poised person when it comes to speaking in front of a room full of people. His talk was so comfortable and natural that he just inspires you to learn about whatever he is talking about...even if it is about "ubiquitous computing" and "passion agnostic social networks." He presented with grace and got the audience thinking beyond tangible topics and perhaps more in depth than they even imagined. I guess that's what happens when you put a computer science/english double major behind a lectern. He's compelling and I'm not the only one that things so.

You can see other not-so-biased positive reviews on his talk here and here and here. And you can see his slides here along with Sean's frog blog about his presentation.

People who use words like "ubiquitous" and "passion-agnostic" are definitely cool. Your pride is only appropriate.
