The Onion was a little late to the party coming up with Gore Wins Oscar, Nobel Peace Prize for Slide-Show Presentation. Quips about that hit Twitter when the Peace Prize was announced. But they do it in that wonderful way of theirs…
“The Nobel Committee was deeply moved by Mr. Gore’s passion for making a clear, concise, easy-to-watch slide show,” Professor Geir Lundestad, director of the Nobel Institute, told reporters in late October. “[The slide show] truly displayed how well-placed transitions—be they dissolves, wipes, or splits—can really tie a presentation together.”
Added Lundestad: “Also, the slides with multi-image animation were cool.”

Hey Laura,
I haven’t been to Women’s Business Forum for ages due to taking care of my mom. This reply has nothing to do with your post.
Anyway, because I haven’t been to meetings, I didn’t know you moved! It is great to find you, completely by accident, and to see you are doing well.
My very best regards,
Lorraine in Doylestown, PA
