Your session was very engaging and I've been thinking about how to make my next one more interesting. I'd say you forgot a valuable tip from Doug McCune though: Drop the "F bomb" a few times verbally and in your slides ;) Maybe that falls into being spontaneous/animated.

I think your session and <a href="http://dougmccune.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">Doug McCune's</a> were absolute standouts. Plus, I think you need a t-shirt saying "They're not hacks. They are performance optimizations that are difficult to maintain." Cheers -- Doug Dave, your Buzzword talk was definitely one of the conference highlights. I think your session and Doug McCune’s were absolute standouts.

Plus, I think you need a t-shirt saying “They’re not hacks. They are performance optimizations that are difficult to maintain.”
