I've been enjoying the Presentation Zen weblog since I found it a month or so ago. It has a fantastic meat/flow ratio (the ratio of frequency of posts to excellent content), as you'd expect from a blog that says stuff like this:
In the world of PowerPoint presentations, then, you do not always need to visually spell everything out. You do not need to (nor can you) pound every detail into the head of each member of your audience either visually or verbally. Instead, the combination of your words, along with the visual images you project, should motivate the viewer and arouse his imagination helping him to empathize with your idea and visualize your idea far beyond what is visible in the ephemeral PowerPoint slide before him.
In the infowork world I work in, we can use all the help we can get with communicating better, more specifically, with writing and presentations. Presentations Zen does pretty good at the second by using lots of examples with just enough discussion to drive the point home.
