As a secondary note, I am in the midst of redesigning my company web site, and I am looking for comments. I don't want to post the temporary URL just yet, as it's still very experimental, but if you would like to give me your comments about it, e-mail me and I'll send you the URL. I need some more feedback, because I sent out about 8 messages to online friends to review the design for me, but only 3 have written back. Hrmph! Nice friends! :-)

Today's been very busy for me. I met with a new client this morning, and this afternoon, I'm busy updating my company page. It should be live in a few days. I also found some more potential work through some contacts, so that's good. Money may be evil, but it's sure good to have.

I'm getting frustrated with e-mail. It seems like I lost a few posts this weekend again, and I didn't get a single F1 update, but I found it was because my service was cancelled due to bounced messages from JP's server a couple of weeks ago. Or maybe people are writing less, what with exams and the like? Oh and before I forget, there's a new story, which was online just yesterday.

Daily Linkage - Some personal pages today. The first one is Arachnid, who is into goth and a very talented graphic designer. The second one is Rebecca, who shows exactly how big one's ego can get - she even has her own FAQ, for christ's sake. Sorry girl, you ain't all that.

Yesterday was a U2 marathon day on Much Music. We had U2 spotlights, we had the film Rattle and Hum, we had interviews, and we had a sneak peak at Pop Mart. It got me thinking about U2 and how the band has affected my life. I used to be a huge U2 fan. So I wrote a story about it, called Feeling U2, and it's live, so check it out.

Daily Linkage - I can't believe how many U2 sites there are, and how many visits they've had. Most of the fan pages I checked out had on average 40K-60K visitors each! Well, I won't add to that. But PopMart has it's own web page, so check it out for the latest official info about U2.

I've been noticing lately that the Internet is just like a soap opera. I was witness to several rather childish fights over the past week (thankfully, I wasn't part of them this time around), On of my online acquaintances felt that he was the victim of some pretty harsh accusations, and he took his fight to the web, to newsgroups, and to e-mail. He even went so far as to cc: all his mail to his accuser to all his other online friends. I found the whole thing laughable, especially considering that the topic of the argument was insignificant and easily forgettable (I've already forgotten it). As the Net Turns, eh?

Daily Linkage - I found a few cool sites to share with you today. Check out TeeVee, home of the critical, cynical, and sometimes funny television review. There's the Cool vs. Practical article at theNet site, and for some rants against McDonalds (hey, I luv McDicks!) check this one out.

I found out there is a Dukes of Hazard reunion show on TV tonight (CBS 8pm). When I was a kid, I was a HUGE Dukes of Hazard fan... "Just two good ole' boys, never meaning no harm!". I used to love those unbelievable jumps! Did you ever notice that the General Lee's front end crunches during the show's intro song? They cut it quick, but you can see it. Anyway, I'm going to watch it tonight, just to have a laugh. I know Uncle Jessie is still alive - I saw him last year, and he looks EXACTLY the same!

Daily Linkage - Some Dukage Links today! Lots of personal fan sites. Probably the best one, with lots of content is Ray's page. A few others: Cory's Page, Brandon's pages, (both lame, but with pictures). And probably the definitive site for Duke Fans is The Dukes of Hazard Homepage, only because it has so much content, and is fairly well designed.

My new story has been up at O L I O for a few days now, and I've gotten a few e-mails about it. Mostly good, one person thought I was an idiot. Oh well, can't satisfy everyone. It is controversial. But if you want to read something less uppity but full of thought provocations, check this sneak preview out. It goes live in a week or so. I am also doing a long overdue revision of the WriteDesign page, and my extreme alpha is here if you want to look.

Daily Linkage - I read an interesting story at news.com today about software licenses. Also, for those of you who loved Aldus, oops, Adobe Magazine, check out their online version.

I went to see Super Speedway today, the amazing new omnimax film about racing cars. It featured Mario Andretti (ultra cool), and his son Michael Andretti (a lame crybaby), and the first five races of last year's IndyCar season. It was unbelievable. I wrote more on it, here.

Daily Linkage - My piece is live at O L I O, and it's called I Hate. Since it's my brother's birthday, here's his favourite site: Origin Games. And, here's a few Mario links The Motor Sports Hall of Fame (of course he's in there), and the ultimate Indycar site.

Why, you may be thinking. Well, my first independently published story will be going live on O L I O tomorrow, when they change the entire look of the site. It's a story about hate. It's still sort of a work in progress, but if you want a sneak peak, it's here. I was originally going to use typical hate graphics, but decided not to... no need to show yet another swastika. In the end, I think I got my feelings across, and while they may disturb some, at least they are from the heart.

Daily Linkage - Once more: O L I O a great site by a fellow Canadian. And in tune with my mood today, here's a few anti-racist and anti-hate sites to check out. There's the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a place for holocaust remembrance. And, there's HateWatch. Visit their site to find out some very interesting information about the Net's worst spammer. Just one more reason to despise this guy.

It's been a great weekend for me, overall. I got some e-mail from the incredible Drue yesterday, and a fair amount of e-mail from new people, which always makes my day. I also have a line on a new job, so that makes me happy. I finished up my story for OLIO, which will go live sometime next week or the week after. And today, I went shopping for a new guitar, and I spent all afternoon with the boys, The Hip! Hoo boy... ok, it was a good weekend for me, maybe not you!

Daily Linkage - Gotta feature it again - O L I O a great site by a fellow Canadian. Also today, here's a few cool personal pages you might like: There's Angeline, and Elly, and the Monkeyboy! Oh, and of course, I can't leave out the irrepressible Zannah!

I have also completed on of the last parts of this site, well, sorta. The Creation of Yet details how I built this site, what tools I used, and where I got my info from. I wanted to include tips and tricks, but the page is so long, I left that out for now. Also new pages to note include my baby pictures, completed Ultra Personal links, and hey, no one's answering my online survey these days. Satisfy my lust for feedback willya?

Daily Linkage - One of the better e-zines dedicated to rants and writings is O L I O a great site by a fellow Canadian. Another favourite is SPEW. And, for something completely different, I found a page written by an extremely intelligent budgie! Visit them, love them, worship them!
