Advice I was given in my youth:
Print your slide on a full piece of paper. Put the paper on the ground. Stand on a chair.
If you can’t easily read your slide, neither can the person at the back of the room.
It flummoxes me that 30 years into using computers to show slides, tiny fonts in slide is *still* widespread practice.
Why yes, I am using *just* XKCD comics for my Intro to Python for Astronomers talk tomorrow.

I don't remember there being quite so much tap dancing in Shakespeare's.
We are down in Boston, to see Something Rotten at the Lyric Stage, Boston.

We are looking at adding a way to generate an animated (e.g. gif/mpeg) movie in SAOImageDS9 by giving it a simple script (that allows you to move around, pan in or out, add regions, ... basically anything you can do with XPA/SAMP/command-line argument).
See
https://github.com/SAOImageDS9/SAOImageDS9/pull/253
if you have thoughts.
