		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve heard a lot of fuss and hype around some presentation software called prezi.  It&#8217;s an alternative to Keynote and Powerpoint, in that it&#8217;s designed to create the visual aids (aka a slideshow) that goes with your presentation.  So far so good &#8211; the more packages there are in the market the better.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been doing some reading recently (sorry!) for a course I&#8217;m designing.  I came across the idea that emotions on the &#8217;spectrum&#8217; of Anxiety are caused by uncertain goals, that Angry-type emotions are caused by blocked goals and that emotions related to Fear are associated with unattainable goals.
Perhaps it&#8217;s an over simplification, but it works [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s stuff all over the &#8216;net about how a good presentation should be like a conversation with your audience.  By that, the authors are (as far as I can tell) generally trying to get away from the &#8220;stand and deliver&#8221; style of presenting, where the presenter is more of a talking head than anything, simply [...]]]></description>

We all know the adage.  We all know it&#8217;s true.  (Okay, there are pictures out there that aren&#8217;t worth the price of the crayons they&#8217;ve been drawn with &#8211; the London 2012 logo, anyone?)  But generally it&#8217;s true.
