Michael Boyle's weblog
at my friend Tracy’s party until 6am, so I’m just now getting around to putting the finishing touches on my Behind the curtain entry. After a late brunch and my Sunday soccer game, I haven’t had a spare minute all day.
Update: mikel | Behind the curtain is finally live.
highindustrial always looks great. I am jealous of his most recent design idea. But then again I wouldn’t be able to commit to such a design. I’m not that confident about my aesthetic sense.
the Olympics just about every night, at least for a while. I love the whole thing, though I do pay special attention to Canadians (though luckily the CBC puts on lots of non-Canadian-participation events so people get a full picture of what’s going on). Even more, I pay special attention to people from Montreal (I think of myself mostly as a Montrealer lately). Anyhow we had a scare tonight when it looked like fellow Montrealer Bruny Surin didn’t advance past the first round of the 100m race. But it turns out he did make it. Let’s just hope he can go faster next round – he’s supposed to be among the 3 or 4 who have a legitimate shot to win the Gold.
at work. I feel like the first time I talked with theek about wireless broadband. It was so obvious – but mind blowing at the same time.
This is associated with how shitty my Behind the curtain entry is going to be – cause I worked all day Sunday on a proposal we had to submit by midnight. A lot of pics of me at my desk. Shhh… don’t tell anyone… it’s a secret until the 24th.
it’s a good thing or a bad thing that Paragraph Books has been sold to Quebecor. Paragraphe is the best English bookstore in Montreal (at least the best store selling new books), and until yesterday it was an independent bookstore. They practically invented the idea of having a cafe in the store at their old location on Mansfield – when I was at McGill I used to hang out there for hours at a time.
