Whew!

I just recorded my first-ever virtual seminar today! Oh my goodness. It was so strange speaking to an empty room. I drew a picture of some faces and hung it up opposite me, along with a sign bearing the words "SLOW DOWN."

I think this helped.

The seminar is on data visualization, and can be purchased from the Association of Professional Researchers for Advancement (APRA) website.

I am a bit nervous about listening to it, but I am determined to cringe through every "um" and learn some lessons so I can improve my speaking abilities.

UPDATE: 5/15/2011 I still haven't watched it! But I'm still planning to.

Dear Sir,

I have the pleasure to brief on our Data Visualization software
"Trend Compass".

TC is a new concept in viewing statistics and trends in an animated
way by displaying 5 axis (X, Y, Time, Bubble size & Bubble color)
instead of just the traditional X and Y axis. It could be used in
analysis, research, presentation etc. In the banking sector, we have
Deutsche Bank New York as our client.

I hope you could evaluate it and give me your comments. So many ideas
are there.

You can download a trial version. It has a feature to export
EXE,PPS,HTML and AVI files. The most impressive is the AVI since you
can record Audio/Video for the charts you create.

All the best.
