I woke up to the sound of the Olympic theme song and it brought chills to my spine. Let the games begin!!!!
- Olympic Opening Ceremony TONIGHT at 8pm
- Olympic pictograms
- Behind the design of the pictograms
- Incredible interactive history map of Olympic medal counts around the world
- Awesome Olympic venues (my fav here)
- 36 Hours Beijing
- My Olympic friends here and here
- Michael Phelps is hot (since when do swimmers have their own websites?)
- NYT's customizable Olympic TV schedule

Don't forget to watch the Synchronized Swimming events -- team finals are Aug 23rd.
Indeed! I have a whole new appreciation for synchro now :) "Olympics" would be a fun Fluid Movement water ballet theme...

WOO! xo
GO USA!!
I love your blog! Very inspiring. Glad you liked the Olympics. I worked the Games in Beijing -- I was at first dreading it -- but the experience was fantastic. The Western media spins a much different Beijing than the one I experienced for six weeks.
I'll be back!
