If anyone can tell me

June 5, 2000 by Michael Boyle

why, in Win IE, the image of the guy doesn’t load flush with the right hand edge of the cell I’d really appreciate it. It works exactly as I intend it to using 3 Mac browsers, all of which use completely different rendering engines. [email me]

Gore shows off

June 5, 2000 by Michael Boyle

his extensive knowledge of the foreign and economic policy issues that plague the United States. Just in time – whew, we were wondering when he was going to start in with something interesting.

James Gleick wrote an article

about the problems with software patents that cover online practices and methods. It’s a pretty good article, though intended for an audience who’s never heard of the issue. [via MetaFilter]

Billy Bragg and Wilco

June 5, 2000 by Michael Boyle

Billy Bragg and Wilco have released Mermaid Avenue II, the second collection of songs from the Woody Guthrie lyric archives. I got it on Friday and have listened to it a couple of times, and so far I’m very impressed. Of course, I love Billy Bragg and Wilco on their own and have since long before this collaboration, so it’s a bit of a no-brainer for me.

Next Saturday, Belgium

June 4, 2000 by Michael Boyle

kicks off the first game of Euro 2000 in Brussels. I’m not a huge football (aka soccer) fan but I love the big tournaments. And Montreal is a particularly great place to be a soccer fan – it really comes alive during a big event. My neighbourhood (le Plateau Mont-Royal) is a mix of artists and students – but also of tons of first-generation Canadians, just here from Portugal, South and Central America, and little Italy is just up the way a mile or so. During the last World Cup if you had walked down boul. St-Laurent, you would have noticed that every business had a TV in it – barbershops, hair salons, cafs, bars, restos – and they were all tuned to a game.

My friend Roel splits his time between here and Amsterdam and tells me that Holland is particularly dangerous this year.
