Images Online
I saw two great lists of free online images, both published in November. Thought I'd blog them here so I don't forget them ...
- Find free images online - Judy O'Connell's list (check out the rest of her blog too -- great library content from "down under")
- PresentationZen's 10 links to cool, high-rez images. These are mostly science and gorgeous.
Check out both the text of the blog posts as well as the comments.
My three favorite sites for images for PowerPoint presentations are ...
- Google images
- Flickr (there are some great shots here which nicely illustrate various points about reference that I like to make; see all images tagged library)
- stock.xchng "free stock photography." What I like about these is that you can enter a term like "change" and find relevant results. Ain't tagging grand?!

Powerpoint Much?
Garr Reynolds’ blog Presentation Zen is a must-read for anyone who makes powerpoints. Great sensible ideas for creating good “slideware” with examples – the comparison of Steve Jobs’ and Bill Gates’ presentations are eye-opening (and more...
