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…).

Animated Logo Loop
On a recent project, we were provided with a number of corporate logos and asked to create an animated presentation that would be able to seamlessly loop.
The logos were all supplied as Illustrator .eps files. So the first task was converting to .emf or .png format.
Then each logo was separated into many small image files to allow flexibility in animating. All animation is developed in PowerPoint 2010. Here is the result:

IE9 Has Arrived
Last week, in a batch of 30+ updates nad security patches, Internet Explorer 9 was officially rolled out as an optional update.
I have running IE9 as my default browser for a week and everything is great. The minimal toolbar and tabs along the top provide larger web content area (which is great) and the integrated URL and search bar is easy to use. All of the MS Web Apps, which I use daily, work flawlessly.
Two features I really like are the ability to rearrange the tabs and the ability to “tear off” any tab and turn it into its own browser window!
