Olympics note
Enjoyed watching, the athletes are nothing short of amazing. And I look forward to watching Peking and Paris. That said, I'm hoping that whoever does those broadcasts does away with the overlapping commentaries. It was a bit like trying to watch a movie while the people sitting behind are carrying on a conversation, annoying in the extreme. Even during the closing ceremony, they showed the lovely video Paris had prepared and the voiceover person insisted on describing the "tall woman with long hair and freckles" while the other voice was noting the French astronaut watching from orbit. Yeesh.
Gritch over.
