You’ll Want to Write This Down• You’ll note that this slide is an egregious example of a

violation of the first rule of effective PowerPoint techniques, which essentially states “Thou Shalt not put War and Peace on a Slide”. This is of course a literary reference to the infamously lengthy novel by Leo Tolstoy which chronicles Russian life during the Napoleonic Wars. The novel was published in the late 1860’s and is often cited when one wishes to hyperbolize the length of a written work, such as the amount of text on this single slide. It is immediately obvious why one would never wish to write this much on a single PowerPoint slide, as it is way too much for a captive audience to read and absorb effectively.

When I Need a Laugh…

• I enjoy visiting “Rob and Elliot”, which is the hilarious online comic-book story of two roommates and their misadventures
