DeBeers Settlement

If you bought any diamond jewellery between January 1994 and April 2006, you can become part of the class action and apply for a share of De Beers’s settlement. Depending on what you bought (and the number of people who apply for their share), you could get around 30% of the purchase price back!

alli: Miracle diet pill with teeny-tiny side effect

I saw a huge display of “alli” is CVS the other night, and most of these thoughts ran through my head. I remember when Xenical first came out, and I heard the phrase “fecal urgency” for the first time.

SlideShare

The worst website in the history of the world ever?

Not that it’s a bad site — it’s very nicely put together. I mean “worst” in the sense of “most evil and damaging to humanity”. Slide decks are going to fall into one of two main categories

1) Lots of text and information. Possibly useful as documents, but spectacularly fucking dreadful as presentations. (If the audience is reading your slide, they’re not listening to you)

2) Lots of pictures and headings, but minimal content. Potentially great illustrations if there’s someone giving an informative talk in front of them, but relatively useless to be shared on a website.

On the plus side, I’ll have a metric shitload of ammunition next time I do a presentation on awful powerpoint.
