freelanceswitch.com — Each week I get two or three requests for design work. They come sometimes from contacts, but more often than not they come from random people. Sometimes they even come from web-famous people or well-known companies. What is interesting about this though is that I no longer freelance, advertise for work or even have a portfolio....

While I agree with you on some points, that site is likable, also quite clean and usable. The double-curve has been used in much crappier ways.The post is mostly baby-talk, but he has one or two good comments stashed in there. from the post, you seem to be hating on him...I can understand the frustration though ~it is a cookie cutter, uninspired site with a lot of useless content thrown in. the whole thing just screams show off.However, this attitude appeals to some people with money.It's over-the-top c**ky for such a site, but perhaps you need that attitude to fool high-profile clients.I'll be high and mighty and tell myself i wouldn't be like this guy.. but who knows...
