I’ve mounted all my presentations on the web at http://www.cdlib.org/inside/news/presentations/rtennant/2005lita/, including the “mini-movie” that preceded my keynote talk. The music is not included, however, so you will need to get your own copy of R.E.M.’s tune.
Roy,
Thanks for the excellent presentation. I really enjoyed it. However, text in the mini-movie presentation don’t fit on the screen. Perhaps a compatibility issue? I am using XP with Office 2003. Must be the font that is missing…
Sorry, working from a Mac my font choices are…well…richer. I’ll see what I can do to recreate the “real” experience. Thanks for reminding me about the big divide.
Roy’s presentation uses an OS X font called Marker Felt. A little poking around in your search engine of choice will turn up a freebie version of Marker Felt Thin, which is a pretty close match, just a little, well, thinner. If you’d rather not install a new font, use the execrable Comic Sans .
Open worldasweknowit.pps in PowerPoint and do Format/Replace Fonts and switch “Marker Felt” to either Marker Felt Thin or Comic Sans. Do a “Save As” to another *.pps file and you’re good to go.
N.B. Comic Sans renders just a little larger than Marker Felt, so a few things will still run off screen a little.
Thanks to Thomas, I’ve now made a version of the presentation available for Windows users substituting “Comic Sans” for the “Marker Felt”. I adjusted the size so it fits.
I just used my imagination to fill in the blanks… I figured it was “best viewed on a Mac” or something like that
Nothing is best viewed in Courier, though.
