On the Olympics

So the Olympics have started and while i'm not that big of a sports fan i still enjoy watching them. The opening ceremonies were amazing and not unlike any other I've ever seen. China really has really made many advances in the fields of science and technology and they were on full display that night. The LCD screen in particular was impressive. I also like watching the fireworks which were very innovative, first time i've seen footprint fireworks. (which fyi originated in China in the 12th century). The final torch relay was also impressive when the last person i forget his name was just picked up off the ground by the cables and then he ran around the membrane of the stadium. The Parade of Nations is always interesting, seeing the different clothes that nations wear to signify their culture. The parade would have been better had not NBC had their commentators injecting their own political viewpoints into it but whatever. Anyway that's all for now. I'll post more later.
