I wanted to upload the Powerpoint presentation I’m doing just over an hour from now, but Movable Type is being stubborn because it’s a big file and I don’t have a good, secure FTP client on this machine. I’ll upload it Sunday. The presentation includes a crash course in podcasts (how to find and play podcasts, and how to produce them) as well as some standard dog-n-pony pointers and new observations about Librarians’ Index. Off to break a leg!

Have you played with S5? I saw a presentation done with it at Online Northwest and it looked like a favorable alternative to PowerPoint. I’m not a big fan of slide shows in presentations, since they are often used as a crutch for the lack of substance in the presentation. However, they can be handy for showing examples and illustrations.

From the S5 FAQ:
“The other advantage, of course, is the very small size of the slide show files. You could just about create a fully styled fifty-slide S5 presentation in the same number of kilobytes needed for a single-slide Powerpoint file that had minimal text and no styles.”
