A slide every 12 seconds. 200 slides in all.
I tend to read most of his. They're succinct, precise, thought provoking. Creating a 200 slide presentation for a 40 minute block is quite a feat. I know Connor McDonald to have handed a stunned HR girl an eighty slide presentation for a 5 minute segment. He assured her it will take five minutes. It was a stunning presentation. His conference presentations are deserved winners.
I've tinkered with his style, which he picked up long ago from I can't remember where and made it his own. I've been trying to add in that style in my latest masterpiece, balance it with regular diagrams and code segments - which normally slow things down a touch.
If you can make it...

I remember it well. It was around about the time when this (http://www.beyondbullets.com/2005/10/powerpoint_20.html) was going around. I tried it myself, it is a great way to present and hold an audience's attention.
Ah ha, Larry Lessig was the man I was thinking of, that perhaps Connor has mentioned in the past. I just watched his TED talk on choking creativity - very interesting.
