Thanks for bringing up my teaching style. I don’t need a laser pointer for my sessions, I just need a gigantic multitouch screen so I can use my hands during teaching. Some day this dream will come true:)
The main reason that I run around and jump is because
1. I have too much energy and it helps be get it out of my system
2. I like to think that moving around on stage helps keep a crowds attention during a 6 hour conference.
Love the new WTH feature.
If anyone really wants to understand the mysteries of Fit Selection in Window, check out my crazily obsessive post from a few years ago at Publicious: http://publicious.net/2008/07/06/a-tailored-fit/
I break down the different zoom percentages you get with FSIW on different selections, frame shapes, window sizes, and screen resolutions. Man, what a geek I was.
@Mike: Dang, I had completely forgotten about that awesome post from 2008 or else I would have mentioned it. Thanks for reminding us!
Maybe it’s better you forgot about it ;)
In the “Links mentioned in this podcst” section above, you have listed “More on Story Editor and the Barbell cursor”. The only trouble is, whilst the link to “More on Story Editor” works fine, the words “Barbell cursor”, although they are in the links colour, seem not to be a link.
