Excellent deconstruction of a Whole Foods presentation. I'm a bit shocked that a CEO would come to Berkeley with PPT slides containing ugly Excel charts that are impossible to understand unless you were sitting in front of the monitor.

He's a CEO. I'd be shocked if he didn't come to a presentation with PPT slides & Excel chart combination. :)

On a more serious note, I think the idea that PPT slides full of text are helpful is basically entrenched in corporate culture. I wish everyone used Lessig's approach.
