Andy Foulds is obviously a clever fellow. This image of economists is not new. I don't know when he did it but it's been doing the rounds for ages. Yesterday I had a great lunch with an economist and was amazed to be told that he didn't know of it. So for those who don't know of it - click on the image through to the site - and fiddle around with it and you'll enjoy it.
Which reminds me to ask, is there any way of lifting this onto powerpoint slides to show at a conference if there is no internet link?
You could just take a screenshot! In OS X, hod command-shift-4. In Windows, press Print Screen.
How do you think I got the image I used?
But it doesn't really convey why it's funny.
I used this for the first class of my course for several years. But now I use the Hal Varian video on statistics being the sexy dream job of the next decade.
You can get it as a screensaver at http://www.screentoys.com/. It's the last item on the horizontal menu at the top. How you use it from there I'm not sure.
Thx - I now remember that. So how does one turn a screensaver into something that can be shown within PowerPoint?
Haven't got an answer to that, but why not have it running in the background ready to switch to using (on PC) Alt-Tab? When finished, go back to the Power point. $0.022 (GST inclusive)
