andWriting in 2006 and reasons to blog…

Maybe I should make this my New Years resolution :-

“Write. Then write more. Write till it scares the crap
out of you. If it doesn’t, press on; it will. Write till you get brave
enough to keep writing in spite of how scared you are. In spite of what
anyone thinks, including yourself.

The upside is that you’ll find out who you are. The downside is, well… that you’ll find out who you are.”

Thanks to Christoper (Rageboy) Locke. in his interview with David Newberger.


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.
