Many of you may not know that in order to be accepted as a speaker at the FileMaker Developers Conference, you have to submit a "speaker demo," which is a short self-made video of yourself presenting some topic.
I had to do this for the first time last year, and my demo video was a bit of a hit among my Phoenix FileMaker friends. I wasn't accepted as a speaker in 2007, so maybe the powers that be didn't think I had exactly the right idea.
Anyway, by popular demand, I'm posting the video here for all to see. I think you'll agree it is packed with useful tips and tricks for potential DevCon presenters.

I will now go into hiding until the blistering burn of embarrassment has dissipated from my cheeks. I promise we'll post less frivolous content shortly. DevCon always leaves us a little giddy.
PS: If you are reading this, and you and I talked at our booth at length about Javascript widget libraries, and your first name is unusual, and you came to my rails session and provided good feedback, and you have dark hair and some facial hair of some kind, then chances are good you're the guy I'm thinking of who I lost track of just before getting your contact info.
