Several hundred million copies of Microsoft PowerPoint are churning out trillions of slides each year. Slideware may help speakers outline their talks, but convenience for the speaker can be punishing to both content and audience. The standard PowerPoint presentation elevates format over content, betraying an attitude of commercialism that turns everything into a sales pitch.

Los Pelayos, una familia que saqueaba casinos

(Publicado por El Mundo)

Iván García Pelayo, además de acompañar a su padre, Gonzalo García-Pelayo, en la experiencia que les hizo ganar sumas increíbles jugando a la ruleta, ha decidido apoyarle también a la hora de escribir la experiencia. El resultado es ‘La fabulosa historia de los Pelayos’ (Plaza & Janés). Un libro que sale al mercado a petición de Joaquín Sabina, amigo de Gonzalo García Pelayo y primer admirador de su historia.
