I’ve been trying to

June 16, 2000 by Michael Boyle

lay off the cross-blog posts a wee bit lately, but Heather has made a good point very eloquently – something to remember. People earn respect, but a certain amount of respect is due everyone just by dint of their humanity. At work, that’s the least one should expect. For my own part, I have to remember how good I have it at my job, no matter that I’m slightly cynical and jaded from time to time.

the academy, my parents, all of the little people… Yes, it’s true – I’m in first place at fuckedcompany.com – the dot-com deadpool. I can smell a dying company a mile away.

Courtney Love the benefit of the doubt when people were tearing her apart about some of the things she’s been involved in. Salon (yes, Salon) has published a speech she gave at an online entertainment conference that strongly confirms my high opinion of her. A must-read in the Napster/mp3.com/piracy/RIAA files.

Time's Cyberporn
Today when packing up some stuff I found the following gems:

  • My old issues of Mondo 2K, lovingly preserved. I stumbled upon the first issue I ever bought in a corner store in Prince Albert, SK, of all places.
  • My copy of Time Magazine‘s ridiculous and shameful Cyberporn issue.
  • a draft copy of Latvia’s official citizenship law circa 1994, pre-passage – “Confidential, not for distribution”
  • The 1997 Ars Electronica catalogue.
  • An early copy of Shift Magazine, before they’d moved to New York, before they started covering net culture. Back when it was still a literary journal with a round logo and 24 pages. Back then, practically every writer in Shift had gone to McGill with me.
