I did enjoyed watching it but deep down inside me, I was surprised how the Chinese buddies broke it down together. I recognize that they worked hard but perhaps it meant to be for them to take home the Gold. I'm still surprise how they worked out.

That's what the BOC did. Hopefully, London will fix or change the 2012 logo before the Beijing closing ceremony. That’s what the BOC did.

Well, aside from that I agree with you. This has been an awesome Olympics. I'm going to buy the opening ceremony on DVD! …and the (illegal) 14 year-old Chinese “women’s” gymnasts.

I'm getting the news from people at work and online who care enough to share it with friends. There is something wonderful, almost like sitting on a porch with lemonade in the summertime, in hearing someone weave the story from their perspective. A victory here, a heartfelt story there, a bit of drama and some comedic moment or creative spark that caught their eye...it's all there to be shared. As more years pass by without broadcast/cable TV in my home, I'm learning that I like to experience people's feelings about a moment. The way they feel about it is as much a source of entertainment for me as learning about the event or news itself. Oh, and Gedeon, the opening ceremonies were directed by Zhang Yimou, who has created so many wonderful films and has a great design sense: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhang_Yimou :-) Jiffy As a person who doesn’t watch broadcast/cable TV anymore, it has been interesting to experience the Olympic fever without any live/TV coverage in my home.

Our Nu Rave London 2012 logo will looked out of date by then, our stadiums won't be finished, it'll rain every day, and instead of an opening ceremony we'll just buy everyone fish and chips.
