Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

March 17, 2000 by Michael Boyle

There’s a ghost who came out this morning – actually she comes out every St. Patrick’s day – just down the street from my office. But I can’t find a site with the story. But there is a St Patrick’s day ghost in Montreal, specifically in Griffintown, an old Irish area of the city that no longer really exists. Thousands of Irish immigrants died in the 1840s-50s in Grosse Ile and in Pointe St. Charles, just over the bridge from where I’m sitting.

Webby nomination!

March 16, 2000 by Michael Boyle

I just found out that Café Utne, a site I’ve worked on for almost 5 years, has been nominated for a Webby award in the Community category. It’s a little strange in that the category is a bit of a dog’s breakfast of totally different types of sites. But pretty cool. I’ve literally spent thousands of hours there, and it’s my primary online home. I mean, other than this!

It’s O’Hare.

March 16, 2000 by Michael Boyle

Heather writes about a 19 hour travel ordeal at harrumph!. I had a 17 hour marathon myself on my way down to Anaheim, and I was stuck in Chicago as well. Luckily, I found the bar at the O’Hare Hilton. Also lucky was to make $450 in travel vouchers from United.

Is it time

March 16, 2000 by Michael Boyle

to have a little Montreal weblog gathering? My suggestion would be to meet at Else’s for Mexican Laundrettes and Guinness. Let me know – you know who you are.

Ugh.

March 16, 2000 by Michael Boyle

Jetlag. Slept in until 11. But – lots of work to do today, so no more padding about the house in my socks.
