A Gallery of Beamer Slide Templates

As many  of you know, I have started using LaTeX to create both documents and slides.  To this end, I have created a template that includes the basic types of slides that I use in presentation.  For those who want to see what Beamer can do and how technical it is (or is not -- depending on your perspective), I have linked the PDF of the gallery and the .tex file used to create the PDF.  Comparing the two files should make it easy to see how to create Beamer presentations.

And now for the contents of the .tex file.
