My friend MJ and I

August 20, 2000 by Michael Boyle

, among others, have been jawing about Napster and mp3 in general for months, usually over beers at our local watering hole. MJ has put it together in a great story in Hour this week. Ironically, as I read the story I decided I had to listen to Neil Young’s Thrasher. So I grabbed it – took but a minute.

The big news

August 19, 2000 by Michael Boyle

while I was away (no, not the sub or DemCon2K) was that my friend Michael‘s company was bought by Peregrine Systems, which is really cool. Someday I want to start a business with Michael, or to work for him or something like that. He is a huge geek in a way that I am not nor will ever be – and he’s also deeply interested in the more personal, quotidian applications of networking and whatnot. I like people who can work the heavy steel end of networking and the web but also understand and appreciate the everyday, individual applications as well.

Speaking of home

, Ed has started up YULblog, all about Montreal and the fledgling new media industry here. So far it looks pretty good, and if I can find some time, I might even ask Ed if I can contribute.

Home again home again

August 19, 2000 by Michael Boyle

jiggety jig. I got back home from Minneapolis this afternoon after a fantastic, though short, trip. The main goal of my trip was to relax and to visit with someone very close to me, both of which were accomplished very successfully. We also managed to get an excellent group together at a place called the Loring Cafe last night – dinner first then more people met us for drinks outside later on. It was a really great time – everyone there was up for a good night.

I liked Minneapolis quite a bit – it’s a pretty neat city. But truth be told, there’s nothing quite like coming back to Montreal. This is home.
