to go back to re-read The Web is like Canada though, which was kind of bugging me all weekend. And I agree with Aaron and Cameron that the article is a) a little trite in saying the web is “like Canada” and, b) it is a little muddled. It was one of those articles that I enjoyed on first reading but stuck with me as somehow incomplete, unfinished, unfocused. I think Ed put it best, referring to the judgement one must make about management in the web business (I paraphrase): “would they just as soon be selling potatoes, if there were money in it?” I know in my case, they wouldn’t, and hence even older non-technical people have a perfectly appropriate and interesting business plan with the web at its heart. For others – not so much. But I’ve spoken to a ton of “real web people” who don’t have the first clue either, at least in a commercial sense.

All work and no play
makes Michael a dull boy. But alas, this is my lot in life, today at least. New exciting job duties are responsible though, which is cool. I’m really glad I didn’t jump ship, which crossed my mind a couple months ago.

A List Apart is called The Web Is Like Canada, by Joe Clark. I loved the title of course, but he’s right as well – the web can often be defined by what real webfolk know it isn’t. He makes a great distinction between who runs web companies and who knows the web the best.
Have I mentioned?
The new Nantha’s Kitchen website is now live and regularly updated. I used the old design, but recoded the whole thing because there was a ton of real spaghetti that slowed things down a great deal.
Nantha’s Kitchen is a restaurant here in Montreal. It’s on two levels – the ground floor is the restaurant itself and upstairs is more of a bar, with DJs and bands playing weekends.
