 Power Point Hell - 8-6-2007 9:36:29
The holy power point, we feel almost naked when going to meeting and not having a couple of slides with us. Slides with bullets, lots of text and cliparts. We sit around the board and everyone is reading, no one is listening. There were so many bad things said about power point culture. Some shows how limiting power point can be. Some laughs at typical power point presentations mistakes. And others are just getting through with the message by making engaging and simple presentations, like this one - Meet Henry. One of the best pitches I've seen. Tags: power point... more »

Text beneath point headings - 5-5-2008 18:28:27
A reader asks--<br /><blockquote>In a brief with numbered point headings, should the text immediately after each point heading summarize the point made in that section of the brief, even if it is just a restatement of the point heading in slightly different form? Or should you start the text following a numbered point heading as if the heading itself is the topic sentence of the next paragraph?<br /></blockquote>I consulted my colleagues, who are experienced teachers of legal writing and who include two former federal judicial clerks, and they all said the same thing, with which I agree:<br /><br />Make the first sentence beneath a point heading an appropr more »

eBay Data and Research – How Important Is It? - 14-4-2008 19:36:35
eBay is a business anyway you look at it. Sure, it is
a great deal of fun for both the buyers and sellers,
but when you look at it from another view point, you
will see that it is a business from the seller’s point
of view, the buyer’s point of view, and eBay’s point
of view. 40 million dollars [...] more »

Addendum to "Random thoughts on war" - 10-10-2007 1:09:19
Some hours after I published the previous post last night, I realized that perhaps I might have been a bit ambiguous about my final point; it might very well be misinterpreted. Hence, this post to restate my point in different words. To wit:
From my personal point of view, if we NEVER have another war, it [...] more »

Blogging helps keep a record of our own learning… - 3-1-2007 5:25:34

Great point!

Death by Power Point - 13-4-2008 19:16:06
There is nothing worse for your business than bad presentation. There are estimated 30 million presentations each day and around 50% of them kill people. I wrote earlier about the scientific findings showing that power point isn't good for our brains, so I believe we should definitely do our best to improve those power point slides, that will probably never die themselves. | View | Upload your own more »
