At the AALS Annual Meeting, I saw some horrendous PowerPoint presentations. My main beef: TOO MUCH TEXT!
Guy Kawasaki (whose new blog is great, by the way), reviews Steve Jobs' use of PowerPoint. Notice lesson #1: "Minimal text. Many slides had only one or two words."
As I have noted before, law professors face special challenges here since our lives are about interpreting texts, but we can do better. Much, much better.
Have you seen anyone you admire for their PowerPoint abilities? Two law professors leap to mind: Larry Lessig and Eric Talley.

Hey, If we are going to name names, Doug Kysar gave a talk at IU by which I measure all other PowerPoint presentations (or academic talks, for that matter). Old but highly relevant graphics, which he apparently digitized himself + informative diagrams + a sprinkling of text. It was brilliant.
