The Presentation Team in Chicago
If you listened to the podcast that released Tuesday of this week, these are photos from that event. When asked if TLC Creative can supply a top-level presentation team – well just look at the photos! Lori, Sandy, Echo, Paul, Jake, and several others not shown – we have any event, and any presentation needs covered!

Make the Windows 11 Start Menu Better
I have moved to Windows 11, on my main design computer. So I have been spending lots of time tweaking the interface to be more familiar and work better for my workflow. The Start Menu is a big change from Windows 10, but I found a small feature set that is making it better – adding these shortcut icons!

To add these time saving shortcuts to your Windows 11 Start Menu, go to SETTINGS > PERSONIZATION > START > and then the part that is not intuitive (to me) is calling these shortcuts “folders”. Click on the arrow icon to see the options.

From the Folders menu, turn on all (I did not turn on PERSONAL FOLDERS for my workflow).

Done! The Windows 11 Start Menu has all of the shortcuts I was using in Windows 10, just in a different location (I prefer the Windows 11 location).

The Presentation Podcast – New Episode!
The 2022 edition of The Presentation Summits is next month – the 20th anniversary of this conference! Troy, Sandy and Nolan chat with Rick Altman, the conference director, about the 20 year event on this episode of The Presentation Podcast (list to episode 157 here).
Who Watched Emergency! The TV Show?
The story behind this meeting I was able to be onsite for is pretty amazing. The 50 year celebration for the (amazing – and part of my childhood) TV show Emergency! was scheduled for 2021. With COVID gathering regulations in place, the 50 year anniversary celebration was postponed. Lucky for me, I was on another event and Denny Hare the producer for the Emergency! 50 year event was a part of that meeting, we talked, I was invited to join the team for the now delayed 51st celebration of the TV show! The theater was amazing. The tech “pit” was literally under the audience seating with 5′ ceilings (note all the caution tape in photo!).
I did get to see, but not formally meet, Randy Mantooth (John Gage) and Kevin Tighe (Roy DeSoto) and the real Engine 51! Sometimes work is just amazing!

Inside – Backstage – Outside
A few quick photos of my life last week (in San Diego) onsite as the GFX Op for another corporate event. Front of House (in the ballroom) – Backstage (at my ‘office’) – and enjoying a break outside.
