At the end of Yonge St

I grew up in Rochester, NY. The joke is that Toronto is 70 miles away but it takes 3.5 hours to get there. (Look at a map if you don’t get it.) Whenever I did get up to Toronto one of my favorite streets to hang out on was Yonge St. Vimeo user Fixinmytie has posted this amazing stop-motion video of him and a friend traveling from one end of Yonge St to the other. The trip took 14 hours but this video takes just a little more than three minutes.

Final Edition

I don’t subscribe to a newspaper any more but the last one I did, and actually enjoyed was the Rocky Mountain News. This past Friday, after 149 years and 311 days, the Rocky published it’s final edition.

SlideShare Ribbon for PowerPoint 2007

Anyone who reads this blog knows I'm a SlideShare user. Well, as of this morning, SlideShare just got 100x better as it is now fully integrateable with PowerPoint 2007. Just install the SlideShare Ribbon for PowerPoint (don't forget to install the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 first as instructed) and then you'll have a new SlideShare ribbon right in PowerPoint.

As you can see from the buttons much of what they do is self-explanatory. Simply put you can upload to, search, and download from SlideShare directly in PowerPoint. Here's a screenshot of what the search/preview/download interface looks like.

What I also found surprisingly impressive is the program's ability to give you detailed statistics about your account with just a click of the Presentation Stats button.

There's more I could say but instead I'll leave you with the intro video that the folks at SlideShare put together.
