| UPDATE - Turns out I'm not alone in my Powerpoint loathing. None other than the guru of information presentation, Edward Tufte, has written a hilarious little pamphlet called "The Cognitive Style of Powerpoint." http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/powerpoint Bottom line, Tufte agrees with me, although in much more convincing prose. | ||||||||

UPDATE - The Onion has a hilarious article about a project manager that killed himself and left a "suicide powerpoint." Very funny: http://www.theonion.com/news/index.php?issue=4106&n=3

| Watching television has become increasingly frustrating recently, but the most annoying thing I've seen in a long time are the ads for medicines that don't say what the medicine does. "Ask your doctor about Tristatin Chlogycerol." I would ask my doctor if I thought that it would do something useful like make me belch less, but they don't give you any clue what the stuff does, and I'll be double-dog damned if I'm going to ask my doctor about some drug only to find out that it's designed to make you think you're cool driving a Hummer. | ||||||||
