I don't know if that's better or worse than trying to do them with PowerPoint
It's better only in that it doesn't involve using Power Point. More often, we just wind up using bullet-pointed Word docs.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

True dat.
The thing is, PP does have the basic aparatus to do flow charts (I've resorted to it in the past when I absolutely needed a chart), but the selection of shapes is limited, and MicroSoft's propensity to try and out think you makes it a maddening, unecessarily cumbersome process.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
BK French toast sticks are so evil, as they are very nummy....

My favorite thing so far about Visio, is that when faced with the opportunity to just have a straight line connect two boxes, it will instead draw a connector that wraps almost completely around at least one box. weird little thing.
Anyhoo - this project is 90% done.

Oh that is probably my least favorite thing about it! Just draw a straight freakin' line!
I'm way too excited/nervous about going on vacation tomorrow. And I feel like i have no appropriate clothing or shoes to bring!

OK, this PZ post is funny....
I'm not the only weirdo on my block
In case you too have an obsessive fascination with our home on the prairie, Morris, Minnesota, there is another blog based in my neighborhood, and the latest talk is about all the construction going on. College Avenue, the street running in front of my house, is being ripped up and reconstructed, a process that's supposed to go on for a few months. Anyway, there's a strange fabric fence that's been put up between us and the university, which the precocious young man living near us has decided is a Physicist Fence, to protect us from wandering physicists, presumably drawn by the sound of heavy machinery.
If it really is a physicist fence, though, I'm tempted to go out and cut a couple of slits in it, just to see what would happen.

Thanks Nora, I must try it out.
tommyrot, my mom was from Morris, Minn, but I'm sure the town is nothing like I remember it.

I was being sarcastic about the crazy line drawing in Visio.
