So...You have no idea how jealous I am of your day. Sounds wonderful.<br /><br />And I have recently made peace with powerpoint. Mostly because I found this website called "bored at work" and it has great works of fiction (things like Animal Farm) set up to look like generic corporate powerpoint presentations, so if someone comes up to your desk while you are reading, it looks like you're working.<br /><br />Kind of cool.Leauxrahttp://doesthismakemybloglookfat.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368504086012529655.post-65067440416110174872012-03-01T05:17:49.215-07:002012-03-01T05:17:49.215-07:00"He claims." that tells me everything I ..."He claims." that tells me everything I need to know. Sorry Kris, I admit the possibility that you are the most effective presenter in the world now that Steve Jobs is dead, but to put it tactfully, that's not the place to bet the farm. <br /><br />Running on the beach is amazing, particularly if you are hot and sweaty. If I hadn't had a camera in my pocket I'd have gone right into the water. Not sure what running in salty shorts would be like, but how bad could it be?<br /><br />Running on sand is a great way to make sure you are running right. You can calibrate the hardness do the surface be pending on how wet the sand is.Keith Cartmellhttp://keithsodyssey.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368504086012529655.post-43086313382748464852012-03-01T05:11:06.012-07:002012-03-01T05:11:06.012-07:00Yes it is, we have been happily surprised by food ...Yes it is, we have been happily surprised by food here.

You know I'm a Mac person), and I try my darndest to NOT do all of the things you mention. I don't read slides, I use minimal words, not odd graphics (except for effect, or jokes. I like bad jokes and cartoons. I am trying to entertain as well as teach). So I completely agree with you.<br /><br />Really? You ran on the beach? Where are you? No pix?
