August 10, 2001 by Michael Boyle

about unemployment is that it can really give an assist to one’s blogging. Just look at how great thisboyistoast has been in the past few days. Truly inspired weblog entries, combining personal opinion, reminiscing anecdote, and nice links in a very tight package.

I’m not in any way

August 10, 2001 by Michael Boyle

a fan of George W Bush, but tonight’s speech on stem cell research was fascinating. Just as only Nixon could go to China (which is doubtful, in fact, but that’s the common wisdom), only a rightie like Bush could squeeze up the middle like he did. I venture that if Gore or Clinton had made the exact same speech either one would have been crucified by the right. I think W could get a pass on it, though – even though he very clearly left his adminstration open to the possibility of making much more radical moves in the future.

the new Netscape X 6.1 preview and you know what? It’s excellent. Fast, seems reasonably accurate so far, and it looks great. That makes two viable OS X browsers – or three, with Opera. Browsers that don’t support ECMAScript and CSS are just toys, not real web browsers. Sadly, that includes iCab, to date.

any doubt, Cory Doctorow’s post about a parking lot, his grandmother’s worries, and network backups at Boing Boing is surely his best post ever! “And here I am, a pathological worrier in the guise of an sf writer. For me, the worry revolves around backup.”
