1993 called - they want their haircut backPosted on August 17, 2008

I just found a really cute little site called Yearbook Yourself. (I’m not sure which agency was behind it, but if you know let me know in the comments).

Powerpoint hellPosted on August 3, 2008

Ok maybe hell isn’t the right word. After all, I’m not stuck in a room with a sales guy presenting bad jokes and heinous sound-effects.

The site comes complete with poxy Powerpoint sound effects and visual transitions, such as the whirly text or [...]
