There’s an event this week. Dinner and drinks at Nantha’s Kitchen, a fabulous Malaysian/Indonesian place on Duluth right near St-Laurent. The regular crew of Montrealers who keep weblogs is coming out, plus one of our favourite former Montrealers, the irrepressible Jish. Are you coming? Everyone’s welcome.
I’ve been added
to the team for YULBlog, a weblog about Montreal and tech. I’m going to start contributing this afternoon or this evening. There are a couple of recent things that they missed!
Cheebus
. I’m sitting here and it’s three in the morning and I’ve come across two sites that have (not quite literally) knocked me off my chair. The first one I just wrote about. The second one is the new {fray} piece by Derek Powazek, illustrated by Claire Robertson: playing with fire. Maybe I get around in the wrong circles or something, but it’s been 5 years or so since Carl (with friends) did Rats to Cats, and I haven’t seen anyone really push the idea of illustration on the web, mixed with great text, in the same way that Derek and Claire have now done. Congratulations are in order.
Whoa. Nice
Whoa. Nice. haughey.com redesigns. Not something I normally comment upon, but then they’re not always as radical as matthowie’s redesign.
No one tops Gilles Vigneault
, really, at describing Quebec. “Mon pays ce n’est pas un pays c’est l’hiver” is how he put it – roughly – my country isn’t a country, it’s winter.
We had over a foot of snow dump on us in the last week, today it’s warm and it might rain – leading to whispered concerns that we might have another ice storm like the great verglas of 1998.
And yet, and yet… things go on. Cheerfully. The pubs on St-Laurent were packed last night. Christmas shopping continues apace, amidst 24-hour-a-day snow removal that messes with parking, walking, driving – everything.
I really couldn’t imagine living anywhere else but here.
