I've thought of doing it as a screencast, with my voice over the slides (and maybe even 'talking head' webcam video) but that would be a huge amount of work to get right. Images with text are much easier to put up, but don't give a real sense of the presentation.

I want both! I want to watch it once all the way through -- hearing you in sync with the video, but having the text to search/refer to later would be useful and/or funny. Either way, I wish I'd been there to see it live. I usually hate "Who Am I" portions of any presentation but you had at me at Sith Lord. Why do we have to choose? I want both!
