I had a ton of fun with the Copyblogger post last week. And just for the remarkable communication readers, here's the line I cut out because it seemed unseemly for Brian's blog:
Fake enthusiasm is as easy to spot as a pair of fake DDs, and even less appealing.
I'm clearly not a fake geek, because the first thing that came to my mind was "I didn't realize people where trying to pretend to be Debian Developers".

That's an awesome line -- it's too good not to be shared.
Started off my day with a good laugh!

Sonia,
It certainly would have changed the comments! It was a really great article, and that quip is excellent, no matter where you publish it.
Regards,
Kelly

It seems that being a dork is cool now because they make a lot of money and invent stuff.

Lawrence, I did pick up Presentation Zen and I like it, but I didn't find it *useful*. To use the analogy of this post, Beyond Bullet Points is more of a recipe. I want to reread PZ, though, because I think he's making some important points and the book is genuinely beautiful. (And how many PowerPoint books can you say that about?)
I love it, Janice! That makes me very happy to read.
Loraleigh, I have a hard time with longer blog posts as well. Our attention is just so divided.
