Eric’s Journal

I recently received a Spudtrooper as a gift, which I’ve put on the shelf next to Darth Tater. This one doesn’t have as good of puns, but here are a few from the packaging;

• “Freeze, or I’ll mash you”
• “Equiped with a lazer masher and spud armor to save their skins, the mighty Spudtroopers have sworn allegiance to Darth Tater. Now, the Rebel Alliance must flee to keep from getting fried.”

Last Thursday I gave a presentation about blogs and RSS feed readers to the educational technologists from the Seattle Schools. You can view the movie here or here to be able to resize the movie. The slideshow doesn’t show the full presention because I frequently navigatied away from the flash movie to show examples of other web sites.

Use these keys to navigate through the movie;

• Right arrow: move forward one slide
• Left arrow: move backward one slide
• Up arrow: replay animation of current slide
• Down arrow: skip animation of current slide

To create the slideshow, I reworked some code I created for the gallery at mustardworkstudio.com, but added functions to control the animation. I didn’t add as much animation as I had originally planned because I ran out of time and energy the night before the presentation (actually, early that morning), so maybe one day I’ll do some more work on this presentation.
