Happy Birthday, Mike!

by Mandy Weger on November 14, 2011

My poor honey is celebrating his 28th birthday with a bad head cold and a 12 hour work day today :(

Since I didn’t have a card for him this year, I decided to try my hand at Prezi, which is an online presentation builder I’ve been hearing buzz about. It’s much cooler than powerpoint in that it doesn’t restrict you to slides and it’s a much cleaner, more modern look. Mike loooves him some powerpoint, so I thought I’d introduce him to Prezi by giving him a birthday presentation!

Enjoy! (you need flash to enjoy)

I’m pretty happy with how it came out, but Prezi seemed pretty glitchy to work with, was pretty slow, and it seemed to freeze up my whole computer a few times. It also signed me out after about 20 minutes of working on it, which was frustrating. Their support team told me via twitter to allow cookies, which I thought I did, but I’m happy that they at least got back to me. Overall, I really love the way Prezi is structured and will use it again. Hopefully any kinks they currently have will be ironed out soon!

Sorry, this was kind of a happy birthday and a review of a product in the same post. Hope you don’t mind, honey ;) I thought this might be a fun way to plan out our vacations in the future since we currently use powerpoint for our itineraries.

I love you, Mike! I hope you have a good birthday despite not feeling well and working late tonight. I’ll have a delicious dinner waiting for you when you get home!!

    Finally got a chance to watch the whole presentation. Maximum adorbs.  I love it! I’ve got to try out Prezi.  I usually do a PowerPoint Christmas list (it’s a family inside joke), but this year, I think I’m gonna bring my A-GAME! lol

    Aw, happy birthday, Mike (for what, like the third time now?) and I hope you feel better soon! My computer is totally not a fan of that presentation, so I’m going to have to try again later – it looks super sweet!!!

    This timed out for me because our internet is so slow, but I’m in love with the concept. And I added Akelarre to our list of places we must eat at one day. Was it as amazing as it seems?
