Thanks everybody for the feedback.  I've updated the slides
accordingly taking into account all your suggestions.

By the way, I made the talk by screenshotting each thing that looked
like a "slide" in a Sage notebook, then dragging and dropping all
those images into Keynote, then exporting to ppt and pdf.  It's sort
of a weird path to make a talk, but actually worked well.  (The only
problem was that I had instead tried using PowerPoint 2008 instead of
Keynote and it crashed every other time I tried to save; I guess
PowerPoint for OS X is far less robust than PowerPoint for Windows...)
  I do very much wonder if there is a way that we could add some
markers (or just <hr>'s) to a sage notebook, then somehow automate the
process of turning the resulting sequence of "slides" into a static
pdf or ppt presentation (one can always alt-tab to the live notebook
when needed).  This might involve some sort of "screenshot plugin" for
firefox or some sort of api for rendering a web page to a png...
