It’s the most beautiful

June 10, 2001 by Michael Boyle

weekend yet this summer here in Montreal, but alas I’ve been pretty much tied to my desk, other than meeting with a friend of mine for breakfast this morning. The choice came down to the following question: do I do the work that’s been languishing in various folders on my machine all at once and get it done, or do I put it off in favour of a great weekend and then fret about it for weeks or months, possibly ruining a good portion of the summer? So I came down on the side of the future, I voted for the potential of the entire summer rather than one glorious weekend.

More truth-telling

June 10, 2001 by Michael Boyle

from Mr. Zeldman in The End of the World As We Know It: “The Web is not in trouble. Big businesses are, when they think they can own or master it.
Bye-bye, Big Content. Adieu, global agencies. Thanks for stopping by. Now step away, and let those whove always understood this medium take it where it needs to.”

The official word

(no pun intended) from Steven Johnson and Stefanie Syman has been published: Feed On Ice: A Word to Our Readers, and there’s a thread in which people may comment as well.

Via MetaFilter

June 8, 2001 by Michael Boyle

Via MetaFilter comes the sad news that Automatic Media has fired all of its employees – employees who have reportedly gone unpaid for several months. As anyone who reads here regularly knows, Automatic Media is the parent of Feed, Suck, and Plastic. Someone pointed to today’s Hit & Run at MeFi as well, where I found the following prescient (or foreshadowing) quote: But – and this is a lesson that’s bound to sink into our tiny little heads at some point – content is hard, time is valuable and neither love nor money can make the Web matter more than a good night’s sleep.
