Wow! That looks fancy!

I'm not sure if this really falls under the realm of review, or just a shameless plug.  Either way, I'd like to introduce you to a great website that I've used a ton in my professional and personal life:

http://www.scrapvillage.com/

The site is created, obviously, for scrapbookers in mind.  It has a great section for layouts and products.  However, the section I've used is the font section.

They have the coolest fonts!  And they're free!!!

I don't know how they collect their fonts, or who creates them, but if you want something in font form, they have it.

Need a specialized font for your newsletter about spreading germs?  Check out the G category for "Germs."  It's a great, creepy crawlie font, where the letters have eyes and teeth.  That'll make the kids wash their hands!

One of my personal favorites is in the C category, Catholic School Girls.  It's that bubbly, flirty handwriting I always wish I had, but never mastered.

The W-X category is a huge cache of recognizable scripts.  They have the Walt Disney script, Willy Wonka's font, and two different Wild West Themes.

Whether you are spicing up a form or creating invitations, this is your one stop shop for creative and unique fonts.  I can guarantee that someone will ask you where you got your cool fonts.

Please, please, not another PowerPoint!

Whether you are a teacher trying to incorporate technology or a business person trying to not put everyone in a coma, there is one dreaded foe for attention.

The PowerPoint presentation.

I've found a free, yes you heard me, free alternative to PPT.  Through a website known as Prezi, you can create unique presentations.  They zoom around, going to fine print back to super print.  They can be as complicated or simple as you wish.  The one thing is, they aren't PowerPoint.

Pros:

• Simple learning curve.  With the videos on the website you can easily put together your own presentation in just a few minutes.
• Unique.  Enough said.  
• Impressive looking.  I promise, you don't have to tell anyone how easy it was.  They'll think you are a genius!

Cons:

• Limited functionality.  If you are one of those people that likes to use animated gifs or music in your powerpoints, you're out of luck.  You're limited to embedding only pictures and pdfs.  
• Limited customizability.  They have nine color schemes, two of which aren't in English. Each color scheme has three fonts available.
• Internet connection.  While you can download the presentations or embed them in a blog, you do need internet connection to create them.

Overall:
I'd highly recommend Prezi.  It's not something I would use everyday, because after a while the new-ness will wear off (like any other presentation tool).  It's easy to learn and does look fairly impressive when done.
