CC-8: How Geeks Can Save The Mothership
The aims for this speech are to use visual aids such as props and/or slides to support your core message.
I gave this speech on May 25th, 2011. I must say I had a lot of fun with this one. Actually, this speech is a derived form of my podcast episode The Modern Swiss Army Knife. I adapted my podcast episode to fit the requirements for this speech.

CC-7: L’histoire de l’information: De néandertal à internet
[English version follows]
Les objectifs de ce discours sont de choisir un sujet sérieux nécessitant un part de recherche substantielle. Le discours ne doit pas contenir seulement des opinion, mais utiliser des faits vérifiables, provenant de différentes sources.
J’ai donné ce discours le 21 avril 2011. C’était le première discours où j’utilisais des diapos à l’aide du iPad. La plus grande erreur que j’ai fait c’est de me tenir debout devant celles-ci cachant leur contenu. Pour être franc, j’ai eu beaucoup de difficulté à trouver un sujet de discours. J’y ai donc été avec les suggestions mentionnée dans le cahier de projets.

The objectives for this speech project are to conduct appropriate research and then incorporate this research into your speech to provide support for your key arguments.
I gave this speech on April 21st, 2011. It was actually the first speech where I used slides on the iPad. The biggest mistake I made was to stand in the middle of the place hiding the slides. To be honest I had a hard time finding a topic for this speech, I ended up using one the ideas for speech in the Toastmasters projects book.

CC-6: The Mindfulness Meditation Technique
The aims for this speech project are to use your voice to complement your message by enhancing your: pace, pitch, power, and pauses.
I gave this speech on March 24th, 2011. This speech was also reuse for the first episode of my podcast series. I was inspired by a book about meditation that my ex-girlfriend made me discover.
As always my biggest weakness is that I want to go too fast and I almost forget to breath, thus ending up coughing a couple of times. Nonetheless, this speech interested some, as I went on a discussion about meditation after the meeting.
