Parental lectures

About a month ago, I mentioned here that I was trying to practice a lecture on R. before I actually was going to give it to him.  He requested that I just make it a powerpoint, which I did.  Thought I'd share it in case its useful.   In fact, I may do a whole parental lecture series.  Why not automate the whole thing?

Oh, and it's a good idea to queue up a driving song while you watch it.  I played "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) by the Proclaimers, but that's just me.

(Oh, and I just realized that the animation doesn't work on this uploaded version.  Bummer.)

    I did a full spit-take on the "Bring a land line with you..." slide.

    I love your blog. I love your powerpoint. I love that you write about worms, and scarves and snowmobile suits. It makes the world a more tender, fun-quirky place.

    (I feel like the dog, Doug, in the movie "Up." --wag, wag, pant-- But I promise I won't hide under your porch.)

    I think that Power Point apologies would also work. As in, "I'm sorry I broke another teapot."
