I know most of you are probably watching the Olympic opening ceremonies. I just watched the Georgian congregation walk out, and they were probably the only folks there that weren’t smiling, for obvious reasons (video here). I’m always amazed at the random African and other tropical countries that send athletes to the Winter games. Ethiopia just came through with a single skiier. Where does that guy practice?
BendBroadband subscribers will have access to the NBCOlympics.com videos, so I’ll probably be checking that out now and again.

Yay! After days of futzing, turning off pop-up blocker in Firefox I can FINALLY watch the live streaming! (Why it doesn’t work in IE8 – when it’s a Silverlight player – apparently has more to do with IE’s ridiculous ‘protective measures,’ as I was told by BB folks others have had problems too.)
Curious what others think – I’ve been busy all week pumping up our Olympic zone, posting the live shots and blogs etc.
