A New Use for PowerPoint

I ran across a novel new use for PowerPoint today. I don’t want to say too much about it so as not to ruin it. And try not to look to far ahead along the outline on the left side of the screen. All the same, part of me wonders if it’s fake; then again, I think I’d still find it amusing even if that was the case.

Because it’s a web-based adaptation of a PowerPoint presentation, it does tend to look better in IE (as that browser also displays a proprietary next/previous bar across the bottom for PowerPoint documents). And if you normally use Firefox (as I do), you may find the Launchy extension useful — it adds an entry in the context menu for links to view them in a variety of applications (including IE).

  1. Dude, that could be the best use of PowerPoint that I’ve seen in a long time. However, it was slightly disconcerting that the evil chick and I shared the same name! This one I will definitely be sharing.

  2. Do you have a copy of the power point? I’ve been looking all over the web for it with no luck. My brother’s evil ex-girlfriend is named Laura. Though I’m sure he is not the author, I think he would really get a kick out of it. If you can, please email me where I can find find the powerpoint. Thanks!
