Part-Filled Data Bar
Here's a graphical treatment I saw recently worth noting. Via [sub'n req'd] the FT's Datawatch team.
It's not all that often that we present data that is not a finished 'period'. Typically we've full Years, Quarters,

If It's Good Enough for Huw
Another week, another media-based 'sex scandal' blanketing UK broadcast airwaves.
You don't need to know the intricacies, let alone hold an opinion, to wonder what presentation, particularly video performing, skills could be gleaned from someone earning ten grand a week of taxpayers money for reading the
Presidential Prompt Card
Here's a link from the employer of a canny photographer in what looks like the Downing Street Rose Garden this Monday.
The notelet is in the palm of visiting American President, Joe Biden.
I realise that many observers would dismiss this image. On account of feeling that the
No WFH ≠ No Videoing
WFH is dead. WFH is forever.
Whichever side of the divide you sit, besuited or jim-jammed, I contend that this distracting debate sideshow could damage your selling in one vital sense.
If you equate working away from the office as being the only time to zoom, then I strongly recommend

AI Bot Subject Lines
I've noted a raft of strapline copywriting expertise bemoan the new wave of AI chatbots' inability to as of yet suitably come up with anything usable in the attention-grabbing, ad space.

The title of the essay
Unbridled Young Singer Expression
I sought out the music of Olivia Dean after seeing her ebullient all-too-brief interview from the Glastonbury Sunday. A bit mono-mellow, sadly not my thang. Yet her dialogue approach certainly is.
A number of aspects struck me. Not least of which was how she maintained levels of bubbly interest despite
Google I/O Conference '23 Keynote Slides
My recent post brought about via a one-time slide maker for former ceo Eric Schmidt reminded me of a blog I posted five years back. Time for an update.
As for the current chief exec, an ace presenter he is not. So you might say he needs his slidedeck to
