Big Net

I've cast the net over the side and seining for good stuff. Below is a sampler of what I've caught. Gents, don't forget -- next Tuesday is Valentines' Day!

Go Clipless has had a number of good posts this last week. Among the ones of special note:

• Closeup photos of President Bush's mountain bike complete with custom paint and Presidential Seal.
  
• Link to The Bicycle Page, a nifty website of links to bike sites all over. I've already spent way too much time clicking and browsing from there.

Oil Free and Happy is a Fort Collins business of Alternative Transportation items. The site owner, Jim, bike commutes 16 miles round-trip every day in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Creating Passionate Users: "Real Motivation Posters." I had a co-worker once who hung up more realistic mockups of the popular motivation posters. His had drawings of a fat, grumpy boss in a suit and smoking a cigar with sayings like "WORK OR BE FIRED!"

The Ellison-owned company was a programmers sweatshop and managerial nightmare.
