PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Only a Bawlmoron could be proud of Arbuttucks.

Have you accepted Brian Billick as your personal savior?

Not proud of Arbuttocks, just this particular Arbuttocksian...or is that Arbuttocksite?

Still, glass houses and stones, dood. Glass houses and stones.

I am an original member of the Church of Ray-Ray, and you know it. Don't talk to me of false prophets.

I'm torn - love the man, hate Powerpoint. I've never seen any Powerpoint presentation that gave me more than a miligram of information. Powerpoint seems to be a way for people to say nothing, at great length, with big pictures and dots and things.

I used to have a great "Lincoln's Gettysburg Address as a Powerpoint Presentation" thingee but I can't find it now.

Do you think Byrne wore the big suit?



I will talk to you about EVERYTHING except religion, Dahlin Fester.

Yeah, but isn't it about the absurdity of PowerPoint? I mean the examples from the article, like "Reasons I Dumped You", were pretty hilarious.

David Byrne is a pop culture artist extraordinaire...which makes it all the stranger that I saw him shopping in Nordstrom's with his parents.

Fester
I guess even counter-culturists need underwear too.

I'm imagining odd things.

Disappointingly suburban...yet really, really lanky.

Fester
I stalked them for a full 15 minutes until the wife said "Can we go yet?! Your son is up to his elbows in the bra bin."

Lanky. Okay, I guess that fits the image. Funny how she said "YOUR son," which is what one does when the kid is being annoying. When Fat Miranda vomits up breakfast, she's Sneetch's cat, not mine.




I would have stalked, too.

I think it was more along the lines of "the kid is being male", but, on the whole, you're right. When the child is doing something embarrassing/inappropriate/illegal, they're always "yours".

I'll take the blame for the bad genes. I mean, DUH.

Fester
His hair is truly white. It was stunning, really.

It's a reflection on the subject, rather than the author. But gracias.

13. "RE: This Is Not My Beautiful Software "
Wonderful article, and it sounds like a wonderful presentation.

I'm wondering if Byrne is an art-side proponent of that Tufte moron, who swears that PowerPoint is the downfall of communication.

The problem isn't with PowerPoint, it's with its users. When people use PowerPoint to creates slides of bullets, then read the bullets without delving into them, they're not providing much information. If you can create a slide and talk about it for five minutes, you're more likely to be talking effectively. If you burn through two slides a minute, you're probably not.

The most shocking revelation here: I wonder when David Byrne got so damned old.
