I usually do something in-between this at my talks: I just have an orgmode file that I typed up a brief outline of my talk that I plan to give inside, along with src code snippets, links, whatever. This often works well for a highly technical audience I find. However, yeah, I've also been interested in a less nerdy presentation route myself... s5? One of these others? There seem to be a lot of good options these days. :)
