Mullins Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:52:56 +0000 http://www.remotedbaexperts.com/Blog/?p=342#comment-89 Hey Chris, nice blog entry... I make it a habit to not eat at all for around 2 hours or so before presenting. If you think the noises made by a carbonated beverage are bad just think what noises a Tex-Mex lunch might produce! I think, too, that I might have just forgone the mic if I had to bend over for an hour presenting. I find that my voice is usually loud enough that I don't need a mic is most venues (except the very biggest ones). And I'm still smiling at the thought of you rolling toward the first row on that rolling podium. You need to post photos on this blog! Hey Chris, nice blog entry…
