Perhaps you should do an online book like: http://survivethedeepend.com – thats a highly technical book (on Zend framework) whereas instead of getting it published instead he put it online for free and just takes donations. Perhaps you should chat to the author to see how cost effective it has been; just a suggestion..

It’s refreshing to see compliments rather than competition.

Hm, I surprised I haven’t received an impressive contract from a major music label. Oh well, I’ll just stick to my main career I guess. Thanks for the support you guys!

@miguel.m I didn’t know that about the ukelele. The name is Portuguese but my hubby is Mexican so we pronounce it doo-ar-tay. Wanna go to Portugal some day!

Now uklele rendition that is a Rocky and Balls in the making. http://www.youtube.com/user/RockyandBalls

Nancy, your book has been a lifesaver for me. I do so many presentations that would be BORING without your tips and tricks. I am very much looking forward to using the Animation Painter in PPT 2010. Keep it coming.

PS. Just purchased PresentationZen Design today because of your post.

My copy just arrived yesterday and I can’t wait to dive in. Between this and the much anticipated Slide:ology II, 2010′s shaping up to be an awesome year for presentation design! Thanks Garr and Nancy for all you do!

Great singing Nancy, I can’t wait to see Garr’s response, perhaps he might do a rap?

Both of you did great books and have helped me learn alot about the finer aspects of designing presentations.

Thanks for sharing your ideas (and your great song – american idol here we come?)

Well… allow me a non presentation comment, with a :)…
It would be nice from someone using a portuguese origin surname – Duarte (pronounced DWART) to call “ukelele” by it’s real portuguese name which is “cavaquinho” (“nh” pronounced like “ñ” as in “El Niño”, it was brought to Hawaii in the 19th century by portuguese emmigrants from Madeira Island who went there to develop sugar cane production).

This leads me to a funny coincidence…
Portugal left monarchy to became a Republic in 1910. The present portuguese president is Cavaco Silva – “cavaquinho” means “small cavaco”…
The monarchic claimant to the (non longer existing) portuguese throne is Duarte Pio…
