Political time bombs litter Ontario. Straight Goods Feb 12 2002 6:11PM ET [Moreover - moreover...]"My belief, and I'm not alone here, is that the looming inevitability of damning disclosures in the George case is what drove Harris to become the first Ontario premier in history to resign from office."
I like this site.

Dee-fense!. It's missing in the Winter Olympics. But the Games have their moments, including a star-crossed pair of endearingly frumpy Canadians. [Salon.com]"I decided I was a fan of the Canadian pair, Sale and David Pelletier, when I saw their outfits. She wore a charcoal miniskirt and a gray, clingy sweater that somehow made her -- all 5-foot-1, 103-pound world-class athlete of her -- look dumpy. He wore gray slacks, a gray shirt and a gray sleeveless sweater. She looked like the new temp in accounts payable and he looked like an assistant manager over at the J.C. Penney, but at least they didn't look like a hooker working a Tinkerbell angle and David Copperfield, as most skating pairs do, and I found it endearing."
No Tinkerbells on this team! Wait'll he checks out Elvis!

Bill Bumgarner has been doing some kickass stuff for Radio on Mac OS X. "Now I can post to Radio from any application that has Services. I can take advantage of the spell/grammar checker in Word. Use Project Builder's code formatter. Edit Tables and other HTML markup via WebObjects Builder. Easily post the output of a command in the terminal." [Scripting News]We like that. I don't have Word. I sure would like to have access to a spellchecker via services. Must look into this more.

MacNN: News > Apple introduces QuickTime 6; release delayed: "Schiller noted that more sites have QuickTime compatible content (.mov files) than the next two formats combined (Microsoft's .asf and Real's .ram files)" Hmmm. I would think that this is rather dependant on how you crunch the numbers. But even if you remove some exagerration factor, it's clear that QuickTime is more prevalent than many think.

Printing Digital Photos, Part 1 (11-Feb-2002; 16K) [TidBITS]So far I've been happy to leave the digital photos in digital land. That may change now that we (ok, the girls) actually own a camera. This basic article appears to have some good tips.

Sylvain: "J'ai eu 4 offres pour une license de Radio en échange d'un redesign CSS." [Scripting News]OK. Let's try translating this one. "I had four offers for a Radio license in exchange for a CSS redesign." This is fun!

We're lucky to have Jonathon Delacour using Radio 8. He's unstoppable. Yesterday he spent all day working with others on his templates. According to Delacour, you can definitely do a table-less CSS type weblog with Radio 8. He says he's not a designer or a CSS hacker (I guess he is now). [Scripting News]I should follow these links and figure this stuff out for myself.

Let me see if I can do a rough translation."If, after experimenting with Blogger, you find that its functions are too limited for your needs, you [could?] make the jump to Radio, currently the most powerful blogging application.

Lots of people want to work with Radio and Filemaker. Luckily, a lot of work was done to make Frontier work with Filemaker, and that should apply to Radio as well. [Scripting News]
I grabbed all the scripts I'd written out of Frontier 5, put them in Radio and after I'd removed references to the "websites" table, everything worked! They pull info out of FMP, insert them in Radio and the pages for the CBC Records site are rendered.
