By now, you've probably already watched the 29th Olympics Opening Ceremony. I'm sure you will agree that it was spectacular! Here's a couple of pictures from yesterday's grand opening:
The whole thing was simply jawdropping. Just amazing. If you missed it, you have to get a friend who TiVo'ed it and watch it. Here are my favorite things:
- The 500 foot long LED TV
- The 2008 drummers
- The 15000 performers with the rowing paddles
- The 2008 boxes 'mechanically' driven by humans!!
- The TV around the stadium's roof
- The 29 fireworks footsteps from the center of Beijing to the stadium
- The choreography as a whole!

on a note related to this blog -- the social aspect of this show was amazing! These marvelous effect were created BY PEOPLE! By people interacting in incredible ways...no mechanics, no machines...just PEOPLE!!
What a wonderful observation, chica!!! The total coordination of these performers is a true testament to the social power of the masses!!!
I am trying, as much as I can, to boycott the TV emissions around the Olympics.
I know it is just one drop in the ocean, but....
