- “Footprint,” a time-lapse illustrating the decomposition of an aluminum soda can over fifty years. Great CGI. Kind of horrifying.
- “How to kill a chocolate bunny,” literally horrifying. There’s a shot halfway through with the chocolate bunny backlit by the heat lamp which blows my mind. Pink cacti, also.
- “The Hyena and Other Men,” a photoset by Pieter Hugo out of Nigeria which can’t help evoking some conflicted emotions.

As great as Garr Reynolds, Guy Kawasaki, and the usual suspects are, his PDF (with notes) is pitched straight at the classroom teacher, more precisely than even my own presentation series was.
Dude’s been working on it for months and deserves pageviews and plaudits aplenty. Link it along.

So you’re standing at the side of the gym chatting with one of the counselors during the winter sports rally when you hear, first slowly and then building, “Mr. Meyer! Mr. Meyer! Mr. Meyer!” ¶ Can anyone put a percentage on the number of times this ends well?
