How can I possibly claim to be an engineer without demonstrating the ability to provide a Power Point presentation?
I was once requested to give an “amusing” hour-long semi-technical “personal” presentation back around 2010 about my life and projects I has been involved with. Very strange request … This was not long before my tour of duty at NASA. I was to present something of my background, my professional work – with a special emphasis on a project I was involved with regarding instrumentation in coal mines … along with other odds and ends as I saw fit. I include it here for my amusement and your enjoyment.
The captions more or less come from my lecture notes – but I promise this won’t be a hour-long presentation. There’s no need to click to the next slide and there won’t be questions from the peanut gallery.

I didn’t expect many questions but I got several; time was called by the moderator. What most surprised me were those more curious about my personal experiences than the technologies presented.
