"Gary’s law of conference failures is now codified as never work with children, animals, sweet soul music or live demos. And before you ask, I’ve learnt the hard way, never, ever, to do a live demo, because what can go wrong, will go wrong." -http://www.vicchi.org/2012/05/02/garys-law-of-conference-failure/
