Morning Nutrition Is A Must

PowerPoint can be very time consuming – up before anyone else and ending after all have gone. This past week one of Lori’s co-workers on a large show “helped” her by supplying fresh Florida (we were working in Florida) Orange Juice for breakfast as she was too busy to get any… thanks Chris!

Allocating Desk Place

Setting up a mobile graphics office is sometimes a challenge on a smaller table/desk. At this recent show I was literally stacking computers two deep to get all of the graphics horsepower within reach.

Of course there is always room for an espresso drink (see #2)!

Seating for 2,500+ Please

I spent last week in Las Vegas working on, and running, the presentations for a large corporate event. Walking into a ballroom, before anyone is there, for a group this size is always “big.” Just a few quick photos of the main ballroom seating.

Note the ‘flying’ screens. With a room this large a second set of screens hang suspended above the audience so people in the back can read the slides.

Projecting with a Mirror

When space is limited things can get interesting. For this meeting rear projection was required, but there was less than 10′ behind the screen. Enter “the mirror.” This very specialized projector mount allowed the projector to be mounted at a near-vertical angle to shoot up to a large mirror, which then ‘projected’ onto the screen.

Oh The Beauty of Christmas Lights

After this past weekend I have to spend a few days putting away the holiday decorations once again :(. Things have been great around here, my girls are still at that magical age of believing in Christmas, I have eaten far to much and the whole block goes into decorating overload (which is perfect by me).

I hope 2007 looks bright and full of great things for you! I have no plans to change anything here at ThePowerPointBlog except to have even more content added throughout the year. Have a super week!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

365 Days ago was the exact same title – the very first post on ThePowerPointBlog! We have made it through 2006. Though things never seemed to slow down, I felt like a great variety and diversity of using PowerPoint occured throughout the year (who would have imagined even a few years ago an entire series dedicated to streaming media – all evolving out of PowerPoint requests!).

In doing a quick check I:
– Made 201 posts.
– Added 256 images
– Had approx. 25,000 unique visitors
– Had a ton of fun!!

Thanks for visiting The PowerPoint Blog – send an email any time (ideas, questions, encouragement, etc.)!

Oh the Places You’ll Go (#1)

One of the great things about corporate shows is traveling to exciting places. I discovered this at an event in Dallas, TX at the Anatole resort. On the grounds they have a big section of the Berlin Wall for all to see!

Little Treats (#2)

When working a long show, with long hours, sometimes having a little snack is just what you need. Here Steve Hodges, show coordinator extraordinaire, has bravely left his little treats sitting out for all to see (and take).

Instant Giftstore – iPod Vending Machine (#3)

‘Tis the season where shopping is often an experience to be avoided. But here is the perfect solution! I took this photo at the convention center in Atlanta. Insert your credit card and have an iPod (shuffle, mini, video, etc.) drop out of the slot! No lines or crowds. It also made instant purchase available for docking stations, power supplies, headphones, PSPs and more.
