Every time you make a PowerPoint, Edward Tufte kills a kitten

    Can you *seriously* make a cafepress site for these? I would love to buy this on a t-shirt. Or can I have permission to make a t-shirt for personal use?

    Unfortunately, I think the people in my office who make the PowerPoint presentations for us to watch actually kill kittens themselves.

You probably are as well, so check out this great wallpaper. I don’t know how I feel about their use of Gill Sans, but I do very much agree with the sentiment. Click the link, you’ll see what I mean.

  29. [...] PowerPoint maker: you’ll spend your days making PowerPoint presentations, with many slides, and many of those presentations won’t be used in the end. The presentations will be used in meetings where 90% of the invited people don’t care about what you have to say, and the 10% that should be interested won’t attend.
