Hello folks! Just wanted to let everyone know that we’re still alive. August looks pretty exciting so far, considering that it’s just the first day. Yowza!
As you can see, July was an extremely busy month for us. Gabe did a play in Ateneo, while I (JC) did a lot of corpy work stuff.
In the meantime, we’re going back to the goblin workshop to develop new ideas for the Geek Chorus collective.
If all else fails, we dance with flashlights.
NOTE: Actually…the password to the site kinda got screwed up.

Fresh from the sparsely attended but so-much-fun-you-were-a-loser-not-to-be-there success of Playlist Manila night, Geek Chorus ushers in the schoolyear with yet another stupid event for smart people.
The first will be the Performance Powerpoint division which will feature Eight Powerpoint Artists making a quick three minute presentation on any subject of their choice. Prizes will be awarded to the best presentation, the most original content, the worst use of transitions and clip art as well as other categories that we’ll think up of on the spot.
The second category for Powepoint night is the Open Category. Teams of Three people shall be assigned to present a Powerpoint Presentation that they have never seen before. Roles shall likewise be assigned at random to each team member (for example, CFO, HR Head, Boss’ Wife, Motor Pool Division Chief, etc.). The most convincing and funniest presentation wins.
The use of Keynote will not be allowed.
Note:You cannot compose in Keynote then export to Powerpoint.
Let’s keep this nice and amateurish, please.
Slots are open for the Open Category and the Performance Powerpoint category. Email us at yarr [at] geekchorus [dot] org

Powerpoint Night will be rescheduled on June 23. This is semi-tentative. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, we’ll have another DS Night hopefully in the next two weeks and another round of Playlist Manila. Fun stuff!
