ira glass (you know, the dreamy radio personality ever from this american life), has been interviewed on storytelling tips & how to make a compelling presentation. he gives some great advice that can be utilized by anyone, but particularly designers making a case for their ideas. here are a few helpful quotes from ira:
"Everything is more compelling when you talk like a human being, when you talk like yourself."
"Not enough gets said about the importance of abandoning crap."
yes, you heard him...and let's apply the later quote not only to presenting but to physical design as well! thanks ira! [via chrisglass]

Very good points, especially in relation to design.
I followed the link path through chrisglass and found this: http://wireandtwine.com/store/products/cincytransit.html which is kind of funny to those of us familiar with Cincinnati's (lack of a good) transit system.
Hey Linds,
Thought of you in a very dreamy state yesterday morning. Woke up early to my clock radio at 6 in the a.m. to hear the voice of Ira Glass. I immediately made the connection to this post and hit the snooze to turn it off and return to my dreamy state for another 10 minutes...
