Powerpoint: Fuck you.
That’s all. I just wanted something officially out there.
You know what? That’s not all - I often feel like Microsoft Office products should actually work well with one another. Like a sitcom family that actually likes one another and has meaningful dinner conversation.
One Quick note on this weird image - is this family tri/quad-racial? what the hell is going on in here? Got to love fearful marketers who simply feel compelled to include every race possible (except African American apparently - maybe that’s what their eating?) Ugh. Idiots. Anyways,
Instead, you get Powerpoint trying to pull Excel in while acting like a bouncer at a club - yo - you’re cool enough to park outside, but don’t think you’re bringing any of your features up in here.
Everytime you enter a chart or a freaking grid from excel, it freaks out - says fine - you can put this in your deck, but it has to stay an excel “object”. Great except that f**king object doesn’t sync well with Powerpoint and if you click it too fast / adjust it / leave the tabs open, etc., powerpoint not only freezes but often crashes.
There are plenty of professionals out there who use Powerpoint daily, and most of us who do usually have to try and integrate more than just pretty pictures and some basic charts: we’re actually data people trying to visually represent something our audience isn’t bright enough to figure out on their own. Hell there are entire companies & products dedicated to making the terrible powerpoint experience less-shitty.
Whatever. Fuck Powerpoint.
oh and there’s more content coming soon. for all 3 of you that follow me.
