Miami's homeless children have developed
their own mythology
Miami's homeless children have developed
their own mythology
11/11/2003 02:08 PMMiami street kids have created a bizarre, complex mythology that would
make for a great movie.
"On Christmas night a year ago, God fled Heaven to escape an
audacious demon attack -- a celestial Tet Offensive. The demons
smashed to dust his palace of beautiful blue-moon marble. TV news kept
it secret, but homeless children in shelters across the country report
being awakened from troubled sleep and alerted by dead relatives. No
one knows why God has never reappeared, leaving his stunned angels to
defend his earthly estate against assaults from Hell. 'Demons found
doors to our world,' adds eight-year-old Miguel, who sits before Andre
with the other children at the Salvation Army shelter. The demons'
gateways from Hell include abandoned refrigerators, mirrors, Ghost
Town (the nickname shelter children have for a cemetery somewhere in
Dade County), and Jeep Cherokees with 'black windows.' The demons are
nourished by dark human emotions: jealousy, hate, fear."

There
were two versions of Foghat touring from 1990 to 1993. Roger Earl was

Kneetremblers) from 1986 to 1993 and Dave toured with Lonesome Dave's

Coffee on PowerPoint
Coffee on PowerPoint
12/15/2003 08:12 AMPeter Coffee in eWeek meditates on what PowerPoint is doing to us. He
begins with Edward Tufte's piece on how PowerPoint misled the
assessment of the risk to the shuttle Columbia. Peter writes: Bad
presentations result from people learning to write with a model of
"topic sentence, body, conclusion," instead of a journalistic model of
"lead (conclusion), significance, supporting details." Peter says that
although media "don't just transmit facts; they alter both selection
and emphasis, creating different realities in the process," PowerPoint
isn't solely to blame for the bad presentations done with it. In fact,
he says, PowerPoint helps you...

Even though, by
some measures, I've had a fairly hard life, there are times when I
look back and realize, "I've only ever had to make, like, one
Powerpoint presentation, and that was about sharks." And thank god for
that, because in my mind there is a tireless army of besuited
executives flying around the globe giving Powerpoint presentations to
each other, and as appealing as that may be, my two or three Red Roof
Inn stays a year are plenty, thanks. But to this mythical corporate
army, I imagine tools like the PageShot, a "portable presentation
gizmo" that fits in the pocket and hooks up to any NTSC or PAL
television (or projector) plus doubles as an MP3 player would
be the sort of wundergadget that, say, a videogaming cameraphone with
GPS and lasersword would be to me.
And yes, I use 'Powerpoint' in the Kleenex sense.

Companies Understand Themselves By
Powerpoint
Companies Understand Themselves By
Powerpoint
04/09/2004 05:29 PMWhile there are some who still believe
Powerpo
int is evil, it's become a standard necessity in every day
business life. In fact, David Weinberger suggests that
Powerpoint is how companies understand themselves.
It's replaced the company story and has become "the company myth," so
that employees themselves can understand the organization they belong
to. Even in creating a sales pitch, companies focus on creating the
Powerpoint slides - mostly because it reinforces their own
understanding of the company they work for. While there are both good
and bad results that come out of this, I think it's also a statement
on corporate culture. Who gets to write the official version? While
you can make changes on your own, you tend to leave the corporate
story alone. While I'm not sure it's for everyone, I'd think that
more "bottom up" style corporations would be better off using
something like a wiki to define the corporate story. If you're
building a story around the corporate culture, shouldn't those
participating be a part of writing the story as well?

PowerPoint is why you got dumped by
email
07/31/2004 01:47 AM
Joey "AccordionGuy" DeVilla has posted a rumination on how we got to
the point where it is socially acceptable to break up with someone by
email. He concludes that it's a natural outgrowth of "PowerPoint
culture": "I think that the 'Dear Jane' emails that those people
received were inspired by elements of office culture: PowerPoint,
project post-mortems and annual performance reviews. Of the people who
told me that they were dumped via email, all of their boyfriends
worked white-collar jobs in which they either sat through or made
PowerPoint presentations."
