      Stuck in traffic on my way to #chaosconf, so I'll post a thread on Apple Keynote tips that are New To Me, so that others might benefit.

      I present from an iPad--that's not a thread, that's a blog post:https://www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/8-things-ive-learned-using-an-ipad-for-presentations/ …

      So let's say you slap an image into Keynote. DAMMIT, that's not a transparent background. Crap. What do you do? Meet "Instant Alpha." Click that button, drag on the background portion, and it's removed from the image intelligently. I'm legit mad I only discovered it this year.

      Want to customize your presenter display in Keynote for iPad? Hit "Rehearse slideshow." It lets you set it up the way you want.

      Put your Twitter handle on every slide. I can't stress this enough. You want credit for your work. If I'm still getting set up during your intro, I won't know what your twitter handle is so I can't tag you in livetweets!

      Duplicate your first slide. You can test your remote that way as you're preparing to start without changing the view for the audience / spoiling the next slide.

      I guess this has become less Keynote specific. Speaking tips it is!

      Unless you're @fakeoraclelarry, nobody watches your talk hoping you'll screw up, trip, fall off the stage, and hurt yourself. People want to see you succeed, and they want to hear your story.

      Don't start your talk with an apology. "Sorry, this talk is kinda crap." "I'm new at this." "I threw this together on the plane here." Spare us all. Please.

      Replying to @QuinnyPig

      I know someone that does this 😒 and I feel like it's a perfectionism defense mechanism. If you didn't put your all into it then it's not a measurement of your self-worth right
