Presentation Zen and eHub
Here are two new blogs I started reading recently that I would recommend adding to your subscription lists:
eHub is a constantly updated list of web applications, services, resources, blogs or sites with a focus on next generation web (web 2.0), social software, blogging, Ajax, Ruby on Rails, location mapping, open source, folksonomy, design and digital media sharing.
Garr Reynolds blog on issues related to professional presentation design.
eHub is great for keeping tabs on the latest web applications and services that are fully 2005 buzzword compliant. Presentation Zen is wonderful source of ideas on how to create presentations that won’t put people to sleep.

Flying Home
I’m on my way home from the ASAE Annual meeting in Nashville after a busy week. Overall, I think the conference was a big success for ASAE and the Center and was pretty good for me as well.
I’ll post a bit more about it once I’m home and have slept for 12 hours. In the mean time, check out the conference blog that I and a bunch of other volunteers contributed to.

Blogging for Educational Associations
I am speaking to a lunch meeting of the Consortium of Educational Association Publishers today, along with Franklin Bradley who works for the Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development. I will be introducing the concept of blogging and how it might be used by associations. Bradley will be doing a case study on how his association recently used an event blog tied to their annual meeting.
I am going to ask the attendees to post their feedback on the session here after we are done.
Here are a set of links for some of the sites and services I will mention during the session.
I would also like to offer a big thank you to FeedBurner, SixApart, Ranchero, and NewsGator for contributing discounts and freebies for me to give away at the session.
Update: Here is the handout from today’s session. I moved it into HTML since the PDF ended up being rather large.

Screencasting Strategies
Jon Udell on screencating strategies. Screencasting is nothing too new but I think there are lots of applications (that Jon is exploring) that have not been taken advantage of yet.

Steve is a Showman
So, yesterday Steve Jobs announced that Apple will be switching to using Intel processors in their computers (abandoning the PPC chip). What I loved about how Steve announced it was that after showing several product demos and announcing the switch, he said that all the software he had shown were running on an Intel chip. I’m sure that built some confidence about how far along they are on the conversion. Nicely done!

Content Garden Hoses
Photo by Nikolaus Büttner.
In the past I have always described the task of coherently organizing the flood of content that ASHA produces as trying to sip from a full blast fire hose. However, as I kicked around the idea with some folks at work as I prepared for a presentation, I realized that ASHA doesn’t have a single content fire hose. ASHA, which has dozens of decentralized content producing groups, actually has the equivalent of several hundred content garden hoses. Taken individually or in small groups, they are easy to manage. However, when you have 100 garden hoses pointed at you, you get just as wet as getting hit by a fire hose.
So there you have my deep thought of the day. I mainly wanted to share the photo above that I found on Flickr. I’ll be using it in my presentation. Very apt.

s5 for Web Demo
I gave a demo of our intranet yesterday. I had a few slides of background material I wanted to cover first and then jump into the site for the rest of the presentation. So, I grabbed the S5 presentation template and created an HTML-based slideshow and linked to the intranet on the last slide. The beauty of this is that I didn’t have to do any awkward application switching between powerpoint and the browser. It really made the presentation much smoother by running the whole thing through the browser.

S5 Presents
S5 Presents provides a web-based interface to create and share presentations using the standards-based S5 presentation template. Really a great idea. The owner of the site also shares the full source code for the service if you want to set up your own site for S5 presentations.

Blogging for Associations
Kevin Holland and Lucia Lodato are blogging prior to their presentation Blogging for Associations which will be held at the ASAE Great Ideas conference in Orlando this December. Lots of good stuff on the blog so far. I hope they both keep writing here after the session is over!
Kevin and Lucia both work for the Air Conditioning Contractors of America, which is one of the first associations that I am aware of that publishes an official organization blog (ACCA Buzz).

S5: A Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System
Eric Meyer has released a simple standards-based slide show system, or S5 for short. This is a very slick way to create a slide show in HTML. I may give it a shot for the next presentation that I do. What I find very exciting about it is that it should be pretty easy to adapt a bunch of existing tools in order to author S5 presentations. In fact, someone has already created a City Desk template that does so.
