Olympics

Like most of the rest of the world, we've been watching the Olympics on television. NBC's coverage has been better this time around. They're spending more time covering events rather than extraneous stuff. And the camera work and use of technology has terrific. I really liked how they could overlay two separate performances by the same gymnist and how precise they were move-by-move. We've also been watch Olympic coverage on the CBC. It's been consistently good, less hype and over-the-top commentary than American networks.
