Tufte's has a pamphlet version that makes a great gift for others in your work zone also tormented by the power point culture. In that document he presents the power point version of Lincoln's Gettysburg address. It really is a don't miss piece of art.
WIRED: PowerPoint Is Evil. Edward Tufte. At a minimum, a presentation format should do no harm. Yet the PowerPoint style routinely disrupts, dominates, and trivializes content. Thus PowerPoint presentations too often resemble a school play -very loud, very slow, and very simple. [Tomalak's Realm]

John Porcaro points to a Newsweek article titled "Listening to the Kids." Turns out Microsoft is hiring people to watch how kids use technology. Trying to spot new trends, etc. [The Scobleizer Weblog]

Thanks tons for the post. We are very much ready to engage in very robust services assignments. Bring em on.
How to build a rich, interactive Webtop for Web 2.0. The first step is to do everything that is possible with the existing browser (IE primarily) behind the scenes. What do I mean? A desktop CMS (content management system) with hooks to open Web 2.0 transport networks would provide the ability to recombine data and content custom ways within an existing browser. With that in place, the second step is to build a new presentation layer that goes beyond the constraints of a vanilla Internet Explorer (by putting the CMS in place first, it is easier to leverage the capabilities of the enhanced browser). Here are some ways to do this:
- Hire a development company like Social DynamX to build a custom interface that leverages Internet Explorer to provide a better user experience. See FM Radio for an example of an Web Services powered rich client interface built on IE.
- Build it yourself using a development tool like Zeepe. FYI, they also have an example built on UserLand Radio called Radio Case.
- Trash IE entirely and build a customized version of Mozilla.
- Build a Macromedia Flash MX application that runs inside the browser locally. Here's a server side example. Any local examples? Another method is to build a custom app using Macromedia Central and trash the browser entirely.

Cool, Adam gets in on the aggregator discussion.
aggregators. "There are two schools of thought about aggregators. One says that they should work like a mail reader, the other that it should work like a weblog." Luckily radio userland has both versions. One I make available publicly at www.loglezer.com (dutch for blog reader) and the other is a nifty outline that is created automatically by Radio. Double clicking on any node expands the rss feed on the spot. [screen shot] [Adam Curry: Adam Curry's Weblog]
