This is how to be a winner

Digg This | ##

By now Im sure you all know about the .10 second victory that Phelps had over Serbian swimmer Cavic last night in Beijing. Click here to see a frame by frame view of how he did it. I didnt watch it of course because Im boycotting the Olympics - but I wish I had seen this swim live.

Whats amazing is how well the Silver medalist is taking it. I have to admit if this was me, I would have been devastated, having lost the gold medal by such a narrow margin. He wrote in his blog today:

“Success!! I did it!!! I won an Olympic medal everybody! On winning a SILVER medal: I am completely happy, and still in complete disbelief that I was able to achieve this feat! I’m not joking… It’s a tough loss, but I’m on cloud nine. I congratulated Phelps and his coach Bob Bowman. I’m just glad the race was fun to watch for everyone. It was a pleasure for me, really.”

Thats how one becomes a champion - being gracious in defeat.

This might be the last of the epic music videos that were so famous back in the 80’s or early 90’s: Lady Gaga and Beyonce’s Telephone. Pretty neat (if not weird) production. Beyonce, as usual, looking smokin’! And check out all the product placements, sheesh.

“We accept that Ms Margolis is not and never has been “a hooker” or otherwise involved in the sex industry.” A funny correction by the Independent news paper.

I love this Photoblog. Love the sense of mystery, as there is no info, no words about the author, just pictures.

Interactive map of New York City’s best coffee houses. Cafe Grumpy is my favorite, as they have the $20,000 Clover coffee machine. Yes, it costs $20,000. Coffee is the new Wine.

Gary Lauder explains why the US needs better traffic controls. Answer is model it after Europe, where roundabouts are more common. Really awesome how he breaks it down into numbers and $ saved.
