Zeldman has found

January 15, 2001 by Michael Boyle

Zeldman has found a site for something called the Health and Racquet Club Group. When you go to the site, however, all you get is a page that says “You have been directed to this page because of the use of an old browser…” and suggests that you use a browser that supports web standards. People have been trying to get the real site to load using any number of browsers – it won’t load the real thing under my IE5/Mac – but everyone gets the same message. Which suggests to me that it might be a mild hoax, a bit of a media hack – but if it is, it’s pretty oblique.

Mikel's custom StorTrooperI made one too. I customized it a bit to reflect my normal wardrobe: black jeans, a sweater, docs, and a black belt with a silver buckle. Actually, I don’t have much else.

It’s very odd

January 14, 2001 by Michael Boyle

not to have to go to the office tomorrow. I feel as if a big weight has been removed from my shoulders. And it’s only four days since I left my former company, but I already have two solid leads and two other softer ones. All four would most likely be better than my last job, even though it was a pretty damned good one (for the most part).

on Bouchard’s most lasting legacy: a quiet counterrevolution characterized by the fact that Bouchard steadfastly “clawed back the advances Quebecers had won since the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s.”
