My free Six Degrees Calendar qarrived yesterday. It’s actually a nice, albeit difficult to read from a distance, desk calendar.
CNET: Picture this: Photoshop on Mac OS X Okay, like there isn’t enough anticipation for this app’s release right nwo to begin with? I mean they have been talking about it for months, they demoed it at MacWorld, the whole OS X community knows it’s on it’s way. So why announce it two months prior to its actual release? I’m happy it’s on its way, and its nice to have a better idea of when, but sometimes I do not understand software companies marketing departments at all.
O’Reilly Network: Steven Johnson on “Emergence”
My stuff owns me.
I’ve decided I’d much rather know when a site is updated and visit it than have the headlines pushed to me. Thankfully, I can do either.
eeesh, the men’s gold medal game is tomorrow. my bad
The gold medal Men’s hockey game is coming up. I will, of course, be in the corner of my country, but I have to say that I think that Canada has an advantage going in. Not so much in talent(although you could argue that as well), but more in the fact that the US played a much more difficult and physical game yesterday. It’s a physical sport, and they were running out of gas by the end of the game last night. Go USA!!
Slashdot: Linux and Mac OS X This is a great thread.
Hack the Planet Prime:: “If you’re going to put a screen shot of your software on the Web, please use the OS default theme.” I have a tip to add to this. I’m building an ftp archive of all of the software and utilities that I use on both Windows and the Mac OS. When creating an installer application for your piece of software, please name it something that somehow relates to what it is and can be understood by someone who didn’t actually build the software. If I had a nickel for every installer that was named install.exe or just installer, I wouldn’t be looking for a job right now.

CNNSI.com: U.S. holds off Russia in thriller to move to gold medal game
Final: USA: 3 Russia: 2 Russia gave the US the business, but somehow the US pulled it out. Such effort, such great play. I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s Canada vs. USA gold medal game. It should be one for the ages.
USA:3 Russia:0 End of the second, and I can’t believe what spirited defense and team play we are seeing from the US.
USA: 1 Russia: 0 after one very hard fought period. Great hockey, worth watching.
Okay, time for hockey.

weberrific weblog: “Je parle français comme une vache espagnole.” Hehe, this was my favorite phrase from French class in high school, well right after le bebe foque. (That’s baby seal to you and me.)
pb at onfocus says: I wish there was a test to determine which identity tests I should be taking. There are too many. I think learning which Backstreet Boy or piece of furniture I’m most like would give insights into my personality, but which tests would be most useful for a busy professional like me?
