Nothing New Here

Hi All -

Here's the link to my Prezi presentation. This presentation was created for me by Guy Parsons. I'm a powerpoint refusenik, and so, by extension, a Prezi refusenik as well - long story.

Here's the link to the presentation:

There were a few sites that Prezi wouldn't let us use:

1. the first video I showed - the two robots discussing why you can't read an Amazon book with a Blackwell's light is here: xtranormal video http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/8251621/

2. Plus the Penguin UK project, We Tell Stories is here: http://wetellstories.co.uk/stories/

Sorry for the delay in getting this posted - swamped.
