I took some shots of their performance; you can either check out this Flickr photoset or watch the slideshow below:

My “Microsoft: Stop Making Fun of Us” Slide

This article also appears in Global Nerdy.

I started my presentation at WordCamp Toronto 2009 yesterday – Better Living Through Blogging — with this slide, which got a lot of laughs. A number of people have requested it, and I’m only too happy to oblige. Here you go: share and enjoy!
