A little laugh before Debate Night - rediscovered on Dennis Howlett’s re-launched Dinglebum. P.S. Apologies for the obsolete map.

Is effort a myth? (67)

Seth's Blog (1366) permalink
People really want to believe effort is a myth, at least if we consider what we consume in the media: politicians and beauty queens who get by on a smile and a wink lottery winners who turn a lifetime of lousy jobs into one big payday sports stars who are born with skills we could never hope to acquire hollywood celebrities with the talent of being in the right place at the right time failed ...Shared by Alan (19) Alex (30) Andrei (13) Anne McCrossan (8) Berkay (12) brad robertson (8) Bradley (1) Brandon (72) Brandon J.

- Devlin D said: Very interesting take. For the most part I have to think that even the people that we consider "lucky" still had to expend effort in some way to get there. You don't get to be a CEO, even a failed one, without putting in work. Same with a beauty queen, actor, or athlete. Lottery winners are really the exception IMO.

Nine steps to Powerpoint magic (110)
onPerhaps you've experienced it. You do a presentation and it works. It works! That's the reason we keep coming back for more, that's why so many of us spend more time building and giving presentations than almost anything else we do. Here are some steps to achieve this level of PPT nirvana (Your mileage may vary. These are steps, not rules): Don't use Powerpoint at all. Most of the time, it's not necessary. It's underkill. ...Shared by Aaron (20) AJ (221) andresmh (7) Andrew (1) Andrew Mitry (9) Andy (15) angol (45) Ashwin (19) atul (146) Avinash (15) Badger Gravling (148) billspaced (20) Brad Davis Seal (30) Brandon (72) Brandon J.

- James said: "Step 1: Don't use Powerpoint at all"
- Daniel Pritchett said: 'Most presentations (and I've seen a lot) are absolutely horrible. They're not horrible because they weren't designed by a professional, they're horrible because they are delivered by someone who is hiding what they came to say. The new trend of tweaking your slides with expensive graphic design doesn't solve this problem, it makes it worse. Give me an earnest amateur any day, please.'

Doctor Who Faces The Question On Everyone's Lips [Youtube Trawl] (6)
on
io9 (1190) permalink
Throughout the long history of television's longest-running SF show, one question has continually popped up (and more often than not, been answered in a way that the questioner didn't appreciate). But can you really sum up the forty-five year history of Doctor Who just by asking "What are you doing here?" Apparently, the answer is yes, if this eight minute tribute to our favorite Time Lord is anything to go by. See if your own ...- Hadyn said: What is this doing here!?!?

Learn The Math Used To Predict What TV Show Dies Next [The Alchemy Of Ratings] (4)
onWondering whether your favorite show is going to be the next to face the axe in a season that's seeing ratings fall and networks get nervous? It turns out that it's not as entirely random and malicious as you may have suspected (Although I'm still a little worried about Pushing Daisies' chances, to be honest); there may even be an art to predicting which shows have the most to worry about, according to some.
