Talking, talking, talking...

In case you didn't get the memo, please limit the number of graphs or plots you show in a technical presentation. Ideally, one should boil this down to the least number of graphs necessary to give a good representation of the data.

I'm a visual person, but after the 40th graph, even I start to glaze over. Rather than showing 18 graphs with all of your data, please plot averages with error bars for each type of data on one graph. Your audience will appreciate it.

I wish I was better at small talk. I never know what to say to people, or I sometimes come off as being really cheesy when I do think of something. Do you suppose they have classes for adults who never caught on to the notion of talking about nothing important and what sort of inane things one should say to strike up a conversation? I'm really good at it with friends, but I get nervous when it comes to people I don't know.
