I knew it was coming

February 1, 2001 by Michael Boyle

but I didn’t know it was being released so quickly: Canada gets a new $10 bill. I think it’s beautiful, though the paper feels a little thin and unsubstantial.

Last night I listened

January 31, 2001 by Michael Boyle

to todradio.com, a CBC radio show that’s really coming along. The show covers the net and new media, each week focusing on a particular topic. Last night was online news, and they did a pretty good job of covering the basics for those not well versed in the subject while also allowing for some discussion of the more subtle points. Of course it’s broadcast on the web as well, and they have a chat room open during the broadcast as well.

I just heard a piece

January 30, 2001 by Michael Boyle

on the radio about the fact that there are dozens of stray cats on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, and that they’ve put up a special cat house on the hill that they can live in. I’d always heard that it was a longer story than the site says though – that they released hundreds of cats in the 1870s to combat a huge rodent problem, and that the result was a huge population of feral cats in all the parks around, including down the cliffs behind the Center Block. Either way, it’s kind of odd.
