Permit me a little self-indulgence…

July 23, 2004 by Michael Boyle

Is it possible that the performance of Like a Rolling Stone by Dylan and the Hawks in Manchester in 1966 (immortalized as the The Royal Albert Hall show) is the best rock and roll performance ever? I think it might be.

The 9/11 Commission Report

July 22, 2004 by Michael Boyle

was issued today. PDFs of the Executive Summary are widely available, and Jason Kottke has made an HTML version as well, with links to each section. In particular, I direct your attention to the section entitled What to do? A Global strategy.

A quick question:

July 21, 2004 by Michael Boyle

Why do all ad/marketing/pr/web agency sites suck? For both personal and professional reasons I browse such sites on a regular basis, and the ONLY reaction they give me is to completely lose confidence that they have the slightest clue what they are doing.

There are exceptions, generally among very small shops like my friends at Plank, and even more so 37Signals, to single out two of the decent ones. But the big shops – they display nothing but complete ignorance of the web; which, in 2004, is equal to ignorance of the media and marketing world in general.

The site will be at politics.technorati.com during the convention.
