I watched the NGO channel's show on the buiiding of the "BIRDNEST" Olympic Stadium in Beijing. Very interesting. Pacifica radio{KPFK} this morning,stated that the 2008 Olympic games will cost more than the previous 5 games together. Some of the leading corporate sponsors are; Coca Cola,MacDonalds,and of course the official candy is a Snickers bar. Go figure. All in all,I enjoy watching the competitions, if only I can find them televised at reasonable hours.

Might I suggest TIVO? Or even the low tech, VCR and a blank tape? I know, a kid that actually remembers VCR's. Scared yet?

not really excited i guess it's the time difference (again). Is baseball a medal sport or exhibition this year ? That's the only thing I'd watch plus we're running into exhibition football (American)

Unfortunately PF is correct.
We are looking at the masters of the next generation.

The opening ceremony was *IMPRESSIVE*.
How many times have you heard me use the word "impressive"?

I will grant you that what I saw of it (which wasn't much) did look quite spectacular.

That speaks volumes.
I'd say they were pretty cool.
The same way I'd say the Apollo 11 mission was kinda neat.
