Found via MetaFilter

April 19, 2001 by Michael Boyle

Found via MetaFilter: the one truly sane company with respect to trademark usage on a non-corporate website. If you’ve ever been pissed off at Mattel for closing down some little girl’s website, or if you fired off an angry email to e-Toys over their scandalous mis-handling of the ETOY matter, take a look and smile. And don’t let the bastards get you down.

Matt Haughey has made

two nifty buttons to promote the Metafilter Scholarship. Personally, I prefer the second one.
MeFi Scholarship button
Especially the frame with the guy lighting the spliff.

News.com’s article and interview

April 19, 2001 by Michael Boyle

with Dan Bricklin (The man who saved “blogging”?) is a pretty good read, overblown title and all. The interviewer manages to catch a certain spirit that I think is very real – a certain seriousness that attends Interesting Projects.

But the article is totally bizarre at the same time. Lots of nice questions about his thoughts on Blogger and the place for personal sites and small companies in the world… and then right at the end blammo: “There’s some skepticism out there about whether Microsoft can resist coming up with a lock-in regarding SOAP. Do you think the big companies will support something like XML-RPC in addition to SOAP 1.1?” An editor’s note longer than the question itself was required to give enough context to readers!
