Not really an original thought, but a thought none the less, it occurred to me this week that some of the primary sponsors of the Olympic games are pushing products that actual Olympic athletes could never actually use.
Do you think someone setting a world track-and-field record would have been allowed to have a Coke and Big Mac in the last five years? No.

I leased this 2004 Toyota Echo Hatchback last year, but now I’m getting married and don’t need my own car anymore. You can take over lease for the remaining 24 months. It’s a great car, but I barely ever drive it!
I’ve written quite a comprehensive review of the car. Here’s a photo of the actual car I have available. Here are the details:
Contact steven@actsofvolition.com. Inquiries from Prince Edward Island are probably the only I can entertain. The local Toyota dealership would handle the transfer of lease.
Update: this amp is now sold.
I’m looking to sell a 60W Fender Hot Rod DeVille 410 tube amp with four 10” speakers. The amp is in great shape, looks almost like new, and sounds great. It’s powerful, loud, and the tubes sound great (it has lots of great reviews). The original tubes have been replaced once.
Since it’s a large, heavy item, I’m not particularly interested in shipping it elsewhere (unless you want to make all of the arrangements and have it picked up or something). I’m asking $900 Canadian. Email steven@actsofvolition.com.

The Mozilla team is looking for some help with some design work. The work would involve a variety of design tasks for the web and for print. For example, banner ads, small HTML page designs, print ad layout/design, etc.
What we’d like to do is assemble a loose team of people to whom we can throw out a quick piece of work and have someone who’s able speak-up and take on each piece of work.
Here are some of the conditions:
If that doesn’t sound too terrible and you are an experienced designer, please send a brief introduction, overview of your interest, information on your availability, and a selection of portfolio URLs to: blake at cs dot stanford
dot edu and bart at decrem dot com.
We’ll be choosing a small team from those interested to help us out. Thanks!
The CBC’s Olympic Athelete Diaries are pretty much weblogging olympians – cool
