What’s Up With Bode?:

I must admit that prior to the Olympics I was somewhat interested in Bode Miller. But after watching the interview with Brokaw yesterday, I have to say this guy is really messed up. I don’t know who got into his head but whoever it was, they did a good job.

Man I was thinking the same thing. Here is a guy who did everything he could (including working outside of the US Ski Team) to be the best, traveled Europe to ski against the best, trained better then the best and became the all around world champion. now lethargic out of shape and sloppy on the biggest stage in skiing. Nike should get a refund

Cool design portfolio:

I like Adobe’s John Nack’s blog. He finds some real gems. Today he found a mind-blowing design portfolio from Dave Werner.

This is what flash is for. This is fantastic

Ten must-have OS X programs:

I have compiled a list of ten programs that every Mac user should have. Of course, these ten programs are only the tip of the Mac software iceberg, and a lot of programs I like didn’t make it in — there’ll be more apps up soon

Interesting list, here is mine (not including Apple Apps):

• TextMate
• NetNewsWire
• Adium
• Colloqy
• Chicken of the VNC
• Font Explorer
• LaunchBar
• RealBasic
• Zend Studio IDE and Server
• OmniGraffle

I’ll try to expand on why later
