| best things about my presentation today |

- It was about 3-D simulation of molecules, which was something we hadn't covered much in any seminars, as far as I know.
- This meant plenty of opportunity for pictures. I successfully avoided the presentation of the form "reading from PowerPoint, while following each word with the laser pointer." Which I admit I've sometimes done.
- The GCB laser pointer performed excellently. The "Torch" function (which is just a flashlight) worked well when I needed to look up something from the paper.
- My previous class ended early. This meant I had an extra half hour beforehand to look over things. And yes, I know, the half-hour beforehand is not the ideal time to do so.
- The little IR presentation clicker was in fine form, going to "next slide" and "previous slide" smoothly.
- It also has "shut off display" functionality, which I tested. About midway through the talk, when I extravagantly reached behind my back and pressed a random button on it. I swear this was accidental.
