Well, in spite of a few bloggers out there insisting that I should switch off in protest, I this afternoon watched the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics (in high-definition!)
It was my intention to write a longer piece on this regarding the various political/human rights issues but I’m afraid I’m rather short on time.
So, briefly — leaving the more serious issues aside for today — one word: WOW!
That plasma screen right the way around the top of the stadium? I want one!
