Crayon Physics

So I am reading Forbes Magazine this week and read a fun blip about a game that uses a real physics engine and is based on the kids story “Harold and the Purple Crayon”

Having read the book with my kids we search for it (note: magazine URL is wrong), did a little reading, downloaded and installed. Warning – this simple activity is an addictive time killer! The game is called Crayon Physics.

It is a free download here. Looks simple enough to be created in PowerPoint, but has some amusing and amazing interactions with the objects you create. Have fun – but don’t waste to much time!

Gmail’s PPT Viewer

Ever been on a computer that did not have PPT installed (it’s rare, but does happen). You can install the PPT Viewer from Microsoft or if the presentation is simple you can just send it to a gmail account.

Within Gmail (Google’s email application) an email with a PowerPoint presentation can now open PowerPoint attachments as slideshows, without having to download anything. Just click “View as slideshow” next to the .ppt attachment you want to preview. It only views the legacy format .ppt, so no PowerPoint 2007 (.pptx) presentations yet.

PowerPoint MVP Group Shot

There are around 30 PowerPoint MVPs globally. This is probably the largest group shot we will get – 18 PowerPoint MVPs and a selection of Microsoft’s great PowerPoint developers.

I am in the back row center.
