Stinking powerpoint.

April 24, 2000 by Michael Boyle

The brain-deadest app going. But it works, I grudgingly admit, and is pretty much a standard. All this for a big presentation tomorrow in Philadelphia. So – not much blogging today. I did, however, read that Roger Black hilarity.

On one hand, he’s right – there is a lot of crappy design around. But at the same time, it’s terribly obvious he hasn’t looked hard for the gems. Of which there are many. Or – even worse – it may be that his aesthetic and design sense are so entrenched in non-wired worlds that he doesn’t really understand modern web design.

And that stuff about “the Internet is not a venue for storytelling” is just sad.

April 24, 2000 by Michael Boyle

that I can’t get enough of is when people blog old/offline friends of mine. Like when Aaron blogged an article by my friend Dahlia.

Starling

April 23, 2000 by Michael Boyle

Starling is sounding great, by the way. The crowd really liked them and I bought their CD “Sustainer” and it sounds really great. I’ve known Ian, the main writer and lead singer, on and off for about 10 years – and it’s really cool to see him moving forward so solidly with his band.

Back from New York

April 23, 2000 by Michael Boyle

now and I had a great time. Ate well, had fun taking my Mom to the Bowery Ballroom to see Starling and Buffalo Tom, and managed to see many friends along the way!

In case that list wasn’t clear

April 21, 2000 by Michael Boyle

I’m heading to New York for the weekend. Back Monday, then off to Philadelphia overnight on a business trip Tuesday.
