The 10/20/30 Rule of PowerPoint

What an excellent rule for powerpoint presentations:

“I offer you an algorithm: find out the age of the oldest person in your audience and divide it by two. That’s you’re optimal font size”

The other 10 rules are great too

Cory gives up his EFF job.

Congratulations to Cory for having the courage to venture to new pasture’s and becoming a freelance writer. I really admire the way Cory stood upto the movie guy at a conference here in Cambridge and all the work he has put into EFF.
Will be interesting to chat to him again when we meet up at LIFT in Geneva.

Performancing – First post

Wow – This is cool. Clicking on the pencil in firefox brings up the Performancing extension. It was a bit slow finding my blogger account and also for some reason I couldnt get into the editor page except after clicking on the paragraph format function.
Seems very good especially all the text size options and ease of use. So lets publish….

Well it seems to have worked – I’m editing this in blogger now.

Disruption in the grocery market

Interesting article about the rise of Aldi and Lidl.

For me the attraction of Aldi is:-
Simplicity – No choice makes for quick shopping.
High Quality – because its their only offering the quality has to be good (compare to Tescos Value to Finest ranges).
Low price – Easily 1/3 to 1/2 of comparable offerings.
Steady pricing –
Fast Checkout

The Cambridge UK branch is certainly frequented by a very diverse range of people, millionaires to the poorest.

Its a pity that they are not allowed to expand faster since the UK government doesnt view them as a competitor to Tesco/Asda/Sainsbury. Apparently thas only about 2.2% of the UK grocery market with 278 stores
