99 Cows
Seth Godin of Fast Company has a plan for world domination. He's encouraging people to pass around his new book, 99 Cows, via email, or post it to the Web, hoping everyone will go to Amazon to buy a copy. His plan seems to be working. His book is in the Amazon Top 100 this week. Disclaimer: He writes glowingly about yours truly on page 25. I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy. [Scripting News]

Canadians losing their religion: StatsCan

A growing number of Canadians are losing the faith, according to the latest census data, released by Statistics Canada Tuesday.

According to figures from the 2001 census, 4.8 million Canadians or 16 per cent of the population identify themselves as having no religion. That's a staggering 44 per cent jump from a decade ago, when only 12 per cent of Canadians didn't declare themselves as identifying with any particular faith.

Make PowerPoint go backwards

1. Select Options from the Tools menu
2. Uncheck "Popup menu on right mouse click" in the View tab (With "popup menu button" checked, clicking on it in a slideshow show the popup menu from inside the presentation - allowing you to select Next, Back, access to Meeting Minder, Exit, Pointer Options, Speakers Notes etc.).

You can now navigate forwards and backwards with your mouse buttons.

WOTD

potamic (po-TAM-ik) adjective

Relating to rivers.
[From Greek potamos (river). Hippopotamus comes from the same root -- it's literally a river horse: hippos + potamos.]

"This potamic civilization pulsated laboriously around every river meander and through every lift lock required to distribute the system's beneficence, and it followed rather slavishly the natural architecture of river valleys and watersheds." Michael P Conzen; The National Road, or, a Landward Salient For a Potamic People; Geographical Review (New York); Oct 1998.

"The Old World was then entering on the third of the three stages of civilization which Carl Ritter, the geographer,  defined as (1) the potamic, -- developed in extensive river valleys, such as those of the Nile, the Tigris and Euphrates, and the Ganges; (2) the thalassic, --nourished by the influences and commercial stimulations of a great inland sea, like the Mediterranean; and, (3) the oceanic, -- which opened to Europe when exploration of the broad Atlantic was launched from its western coast." Josephus Nelson Larned; English Leadership; C.A. Nichols Company; 1918.
