Friday Fun with PowerPoint and Puppets...

I received an email this week from Andrew Young, Creative Director for the World's Angriest Puppets. Andrew writes:

Hi Laura,I just wanted to drop you a line because I have been enjoying your blog for a little while now and I've just recently started a PowerPoint blog of my own that you might find interesting - "Death to (bad) PowerPoint" - all about the evils of bad PowerPoint presentations and how to communicate better using it. It's less of a "how-to" or "tips and tricks" site and more about the theory behind using the software and making good presentations. You can check it out at http://power-points.blogspot.com/ and if you know anyone else who might be interested by all means please spread the word!

I printed Andrews letter in its entirety for oh, so many, many reasons:

1. The blog is just sooooo visually appealing --- great job!
2. The world needs to better appreciate the crucial bond between puppetry and PowerPoint ("Hey, why PRESENT when you can PERFORM, right?")
3. I gotta give "link love" to a fellow Canadian.
4. I'm scared. I don't want an angry puppet to show up at my door, threatening to beat the stuffin' outta me for not showing proper respect!

Go visit the new blog Death to Bad PowerPoint. It's the Friday thing to do.

You'll be glad you did!
