I just came across

June 5, 2001 by Michael Boyle

tvgohome for the first time tonight. As a friend described it, “As Monty Python is to the Smothers Brothers, tvgohome is to The Onion“.

The FAQ has a particularly funny bit: “Why use a JPEG for the listings instead of text?

Because I want precise control over the layout. And because it seriously annoys “real ale” Internet users who do all their browsing on text-based hand-held calculators, and that arouses me.”

It’s a rare thing,

June 4, 2001 by Michael Boyle

I think, to have the opportunity to see friends captured both recently and 15 years earlier! High potential for hilarity and general (friendly) mocking, I think. It seems that I’m going to have that opportunity on June 20 when Who’s Dancin’ Now? airs on PBS, featuring a friend and former colleague who, well, we like to lovingly mock anyhow.

I bumped into

May 18, 2001 by Michael Boyle

my friend Tomasz at our local cafe a few minutes ago, which prompted me to revisit pixelbox, his very cool art site. Fun for hours and hours! And evidently, much more to come shortly.

at MetaFilter tonight might help me over the plateau I’ve reached in my guitar self-instruction: How to Fake It: Playing Blues to Impress Your Friends. Cool.
