Seth's Blog: Every slide tells a story: "Every slide tells a story
Every graph and table, too.

Your Powerpoint is not a presentation of data. It is a story, a story designed to change minds.

If you want to present data, use a list. If you have a list, put it in a printed appendix.

If I can't figure out what your point is, you've merely given me data. Send that in a memo instead, please."

Portable generators about half as efficient as power plants | Setty's notebook

Portable generators about half as efficient as power plants | Setty's notebook: "I happened across a spec sheet for Honda portable generators up to 6 kilowatts. According to my math, they convert between 13% and 18% of the power in gasoline into electrical energy, when running at their “rated load,” usually about 10% lower than their maximum load.

This is a little better than half as efficient as fixed power plants.

The gasoline-powered generators produce at best 6.13 kilowatt-hours per gallon of fuel, at worst 4.42, and a median of 5.7."
