I really don’t know the background to this, but I heard people talking about this while the opening ceremony was on. I did notice that Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin looked a bit agitated in the stand. “All day today, they’ve been bombing Georgia from numerous warplanes and specifically targeting (the) civilian population, and [...]

I am watching the parade of countries now. The opening ceremony was pretty spectacular. I was kind of busy watching our website, following Twitter and reading comments coming into the site to really appreciate it. I will have to watch it all again at a later stage.

There has been no improvement in the sky today for the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. It is a little disappointing, but I am sure it won’t affect the opening ceremony too much. It could be worse. “The weather conditions today aren’t conducive to the dispersal of pollutants,” said Guo Hu, [...]

I have been the one typing away at my keyboard, adding information and articles to this website, but I do have a partner in New Zealand, Regan, who put together the fantastic design and various features to this website, including our live medal table. While Regan was busy with the website he had to [...]

AP did an interview with Lopez Lomong just after he was selected carry the flag for the United States. Even though he wasn’t born in the country I think his story is inspirational and can bring hope to anyone suffering in the world. It is what the Olympics is all about. “It’s more than [...]
