Dvorak is Clueless

John Dvorak completely misses the point on podcasting. He thinks its about streaming from a Web site. Someone needs to fill him in.

Standards-Based Slide Shows

If you've been looking for a way to create slides in XHTML and CSS, Eric Meyer has just the thing for you. S5 is a slide show system constructed from CSS, XHTML, and Javascript which runs in most browsers. Run through the introductory slide show to get a feel for its features (including slide advance when the space bar is pressed and a disappearing navigation menu). All the slide content is in a single file, so once its loaded it's loaded. What's more, since its based on CSS, printable slides are constructed from the same source file automatically. I don't think I'm ready to give up Keynote and Powerpoint just yet, but for some things, this might come in real handy.
