Olympics 2008

Wow! For those of you who didn't catch the opening ceremony of the Olympics, it was absolutely awesome! Really, how will anyone top the spectacle? China did themselves proud! Some highlights (see especially the 2nd photo with the giant floor scroll made from a flexible LCD screen - it was so amazing with changing and moving images throughout the ceremony):











Here are some Olympic rings from past ceremonies:

The photo below is from 2006 in Turin, Italy:



And this one is from 2004 Athens:



And this is from 2002 Salt Lake City:



And this 2000 in Sydney:



The changing technology really allows better and better displays.
