Guns don’t kill people, bullets do.

Just to make it clear – we are talking about Powerpoint presentations here, not about war. Although the US Army talks a lot about Powerpoint.

Anyhow, Seth Godin summarizes the idea behind good presentations very well:

Communication is the transfer of emotion.

Slides should help you to sell the idea by bringing emotions along, later on people can look the talk up in a written document. You do have a written document, don’t you?

Read the full article called “Really Bad Powerpoint” and make sure to avoid the usage of bullets as they kill people.

I’m going to delete all mail

Posted April 25th, 2010 in web by Michael

A great tip:

When you go on vacation, set up an autoreply that says, “I’m on vacation until x/x/2010. When I get back, I’m going to delete all the email that arrived while I was gone, so if this note is important, please send it to me again after that date.”

Something I’ll try next time I’ll go on vacation…

Was es ist

Posted April 18th, 2010 in quote by Michael

Es ist Unsinn
sagt die Vernunft
Es ist was es ist
sagt die Liebe
 

Es ist Unglück
sagt die Berechnung
Es ist nichts als Schmerz
sagt die Angst
Es ist aussichtslos
sagt die Einsicht
Es ist was es ist
sagt die Liebe
 

Es ist lächerlich
sagt der Stolz
Es ist leichtsinnig
sagt die Vorsicht
Es ist unmöglich
sagt die Erfahrung
Es ist was es ist
sagt die Liebe
