I saw on the net today that Kobe B. got a big cheer from the Chinese. I just watched the US march into the staidum and noticed cheers but nothing outright obvious the would be directed towards Kobe

Anyone else noticed that they played a "Visa" commercial right before a "Nissan Maxima" commercial? The announcer of the "Visa" commercial was Morgan Freeman.

A couple a days ago Morgan was in a car accident in which he was driving a Nissan Maxima. Weird coincidence.

I think that opening ceremony was by far the best I have ever seen, don't think we will see anything better in our life time. Just my op:

Normally I'd be interested, but female athletes seem to get saggier every year.

I would have loved to be there just so I could watch the thing in peace. Man those NBC announcers just wouldn't shut up!

I also mentally took 'square crop' images (As you know I love the square crop) of the opening ceremony, especially the drummers, the domino blocks and the costumes. I also just adore the 'bird nest' stadium and the fireworks.

We just won our first gold in the pool and it was also a world record.

Go Aussies Go.....

Zhang Yimou rocks!

the costumes were great!
but i would imagine shooting only at ISO1600 or higher most of the time! the lighting is so low

The relay swimming finals was awesome last night!!!!!! Phelps go another gold

Why do I love the Olympics in Beijing? Cuxz I am a night shift worker and off this week and get to watch them all night long...if I want.
Always loved Gymnastics (participated and then they were "my sisters" when I switched to Wrestling (both sports got no respect at our school...even though we KICKED ASS))
and women's Beach Volleyball. But I am a guy. I hate those uniforms the swimmers wear this year. BLECH!! :)

That was a phenomenal finish in that relay!! Not to mention Hoff getting beat by 7/10's of a second, just before that. Great finishers!

Phelps rocks. I cant believe that finish...
