"PowerPoint: sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying

Here you have a link to the comedy sketch that we watched.... what other pointers would you give????

PowerPoint is a great tool for displaying visuals that enhance, illustrate, and generally magnify your narrative. It’s been used effectively for years by millions of professionals from such disciplines as academia, engineering, medicine, business, education, government (mostly ineffectively in this case), design, technology, and comedy.

South by Southwest... do you know about this event? You might enjoy this....

BusinessWeek columnist Sarah Lacy interviewed Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, keynote speaker for SXSW Interactive at the Austin Convention Center on March 10, 2008.

Free Photoshop Alternatives

http://www.cnettv.com/9742-1_53-31682.html

Three tips for picture editing. 1. go to getpaint.net to obtain a small software called paint.net; 2 another software called Fotoflexer; 3. Gimp, which is more powerful open-source software(150 effects, such as distortion correct) . With the abovementioned three free choices, one could finish ordinary or even amazing photos and images operations without spending a lot of time and money for a huge photoshop software.
