Is it wrong to take so much pleasure from finding the errors in a PowerPoint presentation that was done at our Board Meeting earlier this week? It seems sort of mean, yet with every error I find, I laugh a little more…

Let this be a lesson to you, when you’re recycling an old presentaion make sure you update all the numbers and all the charts, not just some of them!

Then again, maybe the lesson here is the effectiveness of presentations in general. After all here was a presentation with a handful of factual errors, including a chart that contradicted the text on the previous slide, and no one even noticed.

Wish me luck! Later: Everything seems to be working…

    Since Andy brought it up, I will point out that the Dell Axim has been working fine for me, but I haven’t been doing anything interesting with it. This weekend, however, I’ll be giving it quite the workout, as I’ll have a Pocket Streets map of downtown Baltimore, I’ll be taking a look at a…
