Memorial Day 2011
Have a wonderful Memorial Day! My family and I are enjoying the weekend in Washington DC – a great place to remember the reason for Memorial Day.

TLC PPT w/ Video Slide Used By Microsoft
Seeing your work displayed to the world is always pretty great. In this case, it has also brought in hundreds of comments on a recent Facebook post by Microsoft.
From a recent project for Microsoft, here is one of the video “templates” I created to demonstrate the video capabilities of PPT 2010.
The Facebook post is here.
In reading the comments, I was surprised at the number of people requesting content-over-video be added as a feature. Maybe some additional advertising and market awareness campaigns are needed. Content-over-video is available in PPT 2010, works great, and the video being commented on was developed in PPT 2010.

View From My “Desk” at a Show
On a recent show, I was at the tech table front of house (ie. out front looking at the stage, vs. backstage). Here is my view of the event.

Tech Deck for Green Lantern Presentations
Here is my tech area as I developed the marketing presentation for The Green Lantern on a recent show.
The computers are (left to right), production computer, primary show computer, backup show computer. Note my very nifty 7″ USB powered monitor near the center (right above the box of Excedrin…).

Backstage – Caesars Palace
Just a few quick shots of my office for the week at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas for a corporate show.
Note the center screen flown out in front of audience with flown front projector.

TLC Creative Presentations Featured at MS SlideFest
TLC Creative Services (that’s me), was asked by Microsoft to develop some sample PowerPoint 2010 presentations. Some are featured on the Microsoft SlideFest Competition in the Category samples.
When I looked I saw these TLC Creative Services developed presentations:
– Simply The Best
– Real Estate
– The Best Candidate
– Declaration of Independence
– The Game of Rugby

Blogging at 32,000 Feet
Definitely not a fast “high speed” internet connection (even compared to my mobile broadband), but it is a solution for a 5 hour cross country flight.

Microsoft MVP Summit
I arrived in (rainy) Seattle over the weekend and have been having a great week at the Microsoft 2011 MVP Summit and spending lots of time with the MS PowerPoint development team.

Return of the Cabbage Patch Kids
This was a fun project that brought back memories of my sister from years ago. Relaunched Cabbage Patch Kids had the marketing team in need of a template for their “marketing stuff.”

Hanging Out with the Green Lantern
This June is the release of The Green Lantern movie. For a recent meeting, I did have the opportunity to hang out with real Green Lantern – the lantern used in the movie, not the actor. Still very cool. (The small one, not the super-sized promo version).
