Stinking powerpoint.

April 24, 2000 by Michael Boyle

The brain-deadest app going. But it works, I grudgingly admit, and is pretty much a standard. All this for a big presentation tomorrow in Philadelphia. So – not much blogging today. I did, however, read that Roger Black hilarity.

On one hand, he’s right – there is a lot of crappy design around. But at the same time, it’s terribly obvious he hasn’t looked hard for the gems. Of which there are many. Or – even worse – it may be that his aesthetic and design sense are so entrenched in non-wired worlds that he doesn’t really understand modern web design.

And that stuff about “the Internet is not a venue for storytelling” is just sad.
