Personal note

February 7, 2001 by Michael Boyle

: You can put an idea for a website on the table and I can turn that into a half-million dollar proposal including detailed product descriptions, market analysis, competitive analysis, flowcharts, timelines, personnel requirements, etc. in a couple of days or a week. You can give me a vague notion of a new feature you want in an existing site and I can analyze it, figure out what it should be and how it should fit, in great detail, no problem. Offline – no problem – I once edited and largely rewrote an 800 page postal procedures manual. But I can’t deal with basic bureaucracy.

I’m going to be here, here, and at a couple other seemingly random government offices today.

I got my copy

of Communication Arts today at the office – it’s the advertising annual this month. Flipping through – the best one I noticed was a billboard for the California Avocado Commission that said:

Trees supply oxygen.
Really good trees supply oxygen and avocados.

[Pretty nice website too]

Thanks to two people

, Peter Merholz and Meg Hourihan, for pointing out this map of the US election results by county. The additional level of granularity yields some really interesting information – particularly concerning the urban/rural split in US politics.

The same thing exists in Canadian politics as well, with the ruling Liberals electing MPs in most major cities while the upstart Reform/Alliance has otherwise swept the West and is threatening a breakthrough in outlying parts of Ontario. Likewise, in Quebec the Bloc is predominant except in Montreal, and didn’t sweep Quebec City either. An important difference between Canada and the US is that Canada is slightly more urban than the US – though it’s only marginally so.
