Ever wonder what your mechanical pencil is made of?

Mechanical Pencil Breakdown

Using the presentation tool Prezi, I reworked a technical description I wrote in November. This was my first time using Prezi to create anything, and I had a lot of fun playing around with it. The canvas zooming method of presenting topics creates pretty fancy transitions, and could perhaps convey some material even better than PowerPoint slides — not to mention help keep things interesting for the viewers.

Anyway, check out my presentation below and let me know what you think!

IBM Think Academy: “How It Works” Video

The IBM Academy of Technology’s THINK series provides a number of educational videos that attempt to explain various aspects of modern technology. The following video describes how Cloud Security works using a fun, flat-style animation. In my opinion, the animations really help to make the potentially intimidating topic much friendlier, while also helping to convey the educational points. Way to go, IBM!
