I got my copy

January 3, 2001 by Michael Boyle

of Communication Arts today at the office – it’s the advertising annual this month. Flipping through – the best one I noticed was a billboard for the California Avocado Commission that said:

Trees supply oxygen.
Really good trees supply oxygen and avocados.

[Pretty nice website too]

Terrifying, even if

it is thousands of kilometers from here: Cougar kills skier on park trail. I lived in Banff about ten years ago, and know the area where the woman was attacked well.

I just got back from

January 3, 2001 by Michael Boyle

sharing New Year’s greetings with several friends who only made their way back to Montreal in the past day or so, but in doing so I determined that step one of my five-point master plan (of web stuff) for 2001 is a lock now. I got an email today that put step two a lot closer to fruition as well.

The Blogger folks

January 3, 2001 by Michael Boyle

are looking for support to help the service stay snappy. And although I have many questions, and long ago promised myself to quit donating to for-profit companies, I’m going to send a cheque or money order.

I’ve been down this road before with companies and concluded that making a donation to a company that intends to make money isn’t the best idea – much better to pay a fair, agreed-upon price for a service than to respond to a call for action. At the same time, in my opinion the Blogger folks deserve a lot of slack on this issue. To me, what they are trying to do is in the absolute best spirit of what the web should be – and I’ll support that any day, no questions asked.

So go now, and give what you think is appropriate!
