German PPT Blog
Ute Simon, a Microsoft PowerPoint MVP, sent me a link to their
PowerPoint-User-Team blog. The great thing is that an entire group of power users take turns with the posts.
Note: Ute and the entire PowerPoint-User-Team are in Germany, so the blog is also in German. Now if I could only understand it all…
Look at it here.

Sobolsoft Add-Ins
I use and have tested a ton of PowerPoint add-ins. I was recently sent a link to a company I have never seen (thanks Josh) and discovered they have a wide range of Microsoft Office add-ins.
Many are very project specific (ie. not useful outside their exact use), but definitely a resource to bookmark. Click here to check it out.

SpinArt Presentation
A recent project had me reminiscing about my childhood. This “presentation” was basically very large wall art to accompany the event theme. Remember doing Spin Art projects…
Using some graphics designed in Illustrator (vector based, exported as .EMF’s, and imported into PowerPoint) and some creative animation I recreated these red spin art elements.
Full presentation had several different spin art elements and was a 9 minute loop. Happily, the SpinArt was a huge success and spun all night long!
To see a quick movie of two of the spin art elements animation click here.
