Handicapping the Grammys

February 19, 2001 by Michael Boyle

Handicapping the Grammys at CBS News: “If Radiohead and Beck cancel each other out for the alternative vote and Paul Simon and Steely Dan split the baby boomers, you could very well see Eminem win the Grammy. And if that happens, man, they’re gonna tie that poor silly rapper to the dousing stool. George Will will have his thesaurus out, and the liberals will be blaming the gun lobby, and William Bennett will be wringing his hands till his thumbs fly off.” (Bill Flanagan / Kuralt v2.0).

from the world of maple sugar, which means between Vermont and Quebec. Reminds me that a trip to the cabane  sucre [caution: embedded traditional music] will be in order in a month or so – a pork, beans, and maple sugar overload! Note that the cabane’s menu underplays the pork content, and calling them “salted pork crisps” is not nearly as evocative as their real name: les oreilles de crisse aka christ’s ears.

In the spirit

February 16, 2001 by Michael Boyle

of upgrading, I just installed Netscape 6.01 here and I must admit that I’m very impressed with the strides they’ve made in such a short time. 6.0 was pretty much unuseable for me, but this version is much better. It doesn’t disactivate my scroll wheel, for one thing. There are still bugs – textarea boxes seem particularly flaky – but the trend is right.

Whoops. No post button in Blogger under 6.01.
