January 22, 2004 POWERPOINT HUMOR....Matt Yglesias is right: this PowerPoint Anthology of Literature is pretty funny. And from commenter Keith on Matt's site, this PowerPoint version of the Gettysburg Address is also a giggle. Just don't anyone tell Edward Tufte, OK?

FYI, Tufte actually sells a pamphlet that contains the Gettysburg PPT thing, and uses it in his courses. Posted by: ChrisL at January 22, 2004 12:53 PM | PERMALINKAs Me Oh My points out, Hamlet is not exactly american literature. that powerpoint is vaguely funny, but definitely mistitled. Posted by: TolucaJim at January 22, 2004 01:21 PM | PERMALINKI've got "Good Night Moon" memorized. A cooler slide would be where to find the mouse (young) on every page.
My mistake. I inserted the "American" by mistake, it wasn't in the original. Fixed now. Posted by: Kevin Drum at January 22, 2004 01:57 PM | PERMALINKDavid Byrne (of Talking Heads fame), is now doing "Art" using powerpoint slides. Here's a link to a recent npr interview with him about it. http://www.npr.org/display_pages/features/feature_1595838.html dave Posted by: DaveInSeattle at January 22, 2004 02:13 PM | PERMALINKI heard a story on NPR about David Byrne (of Talking Heads fame) doing a book of PowerPoints.

Which reminds me of a couple more internet classics: "Tales for the L33t" (haxorish renderings of shakespeare.) [Both files are Flash imbedded in the page.] The first and imo best is L33t "Romeo and Juliet" The second is Hamlet I wish the windows above would let one resize them -- but if you want to do that you can probably figure out how to download the file and play it outside or a browser. K Gosh, thanks all! Just FYI, Edward Tufte stumbled onto the PPAOL and must've liked it, as he was kind enough to send me a copy of his booklet. Between that and having it discovered by two of my favorite bloggers, I think I'm ready to retire. Oh, and an expanded edition will be published later this year in the third Mirth of a Nation anthology. Posted by: Daniel Radosh at January 22, 2004 02:23 PM | PERMALINKOK, but for those who really do have to use PowerPoint, this isn't nice. Then again, we liberal arts types snicker as we adjust our McDonald's hats. Posted by: PG at January 22, 2004 02:58 PM | PERMALINKNice idea, but it was pretty lame. The first page was good though. Reminds me a bit of a joke Woody Allen made. "I've learnt how to speed-read. It's great, I just read War and Peace. It's about Russia." Hey, ya know what? If done right, it would be f-u-n-n-y, and would probably burn up the internet. Posted by: Magnum at January 23, 2004 09:43 AM | PERMALINKMagnum, great idea. E-e-e-excellent. I'll see what I can whip up. In the meantime, here's a humorous powerpoint that's been making the rounds Yours is a very bad hotel Posted by: mark at January 27, 2004 07:46 PM | PERMALINKAnd now ...
