! Look what Heather found: My Awful Web Site: Canada. There are reasons we Canadians (well, more precisely, Canadians from Southern/Eastern Ontario) of a certain age are the way we are. These are most of them. It’s downright spooky.
I like it when
people whose site I read refer to or link to something I was intimately involved in for several years as Peter Merholz did today. Even if he was being a little tongue in cheek.
Radio silence is golden
. I was away and offline for the weekend, which was even more appreciated in this time of resume chucking and general wonder that every email I receive might be a really cool proposition. I haven’t swung into high gear on my job search yet, preferring to take some time and concentrate on some personal projects that I want to do for the joy of them. But I have received some very exciting nibbles – even though many of the emails I have sent to people were of the “less than 1% chance” variety.
In contrast, the offline-ness of the past few days has been great – and even more, no one I was with really works in the web world, or not primarily anyhow (not many can escape it in some form at work).
Good news
from the music world – we’ll probably start paying for Napster in June. I think it’s good news because I have never been able to reconcile the fact that although I love Napster’s service, I also make money doing freelance work for which I expect to be paid – quite like musicians do. That hasn’t stopped me from using Napster, but I did draw a line in the sand (and I realize that it’s a BS line I drew, but anyhow) and never downloaded whole albums to burn, for example. With hope the rate will be affordable enough to be accepted by the masses of Napster users.
Too funny
