My presentation was done in Keynote, and it would be pretty pointless to look at a pdf. I did put the Keynote folder up at:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mhampton/ams2009mhampton.key/ (On OS.X this folder will appear as a file.) If you don't have Keynote, you can still individually look at the images and movies. The movies (.mov and .mp4 files) are probably the most interesting part. I am hoping to find the time to write some animation how-tos soon.
