Sorry, folks, but I can’t help but write about the Olympics.
Mostly, I want to point to various Web resources that will enhance your Olympic experience, since NBC is once again serving up the spliced, manufactured mess it always does.
Try switching the channel to CBC (channel 6, if you have Stowe Cable) to see different sports covered in a thorough fashion.
Also, if you’re upset about what is being covered, the NBC Web site is streaming hours of coverage online and on demand. The other day, I watched men’s weightlifting in its glorious entirety. If you have a Mac, all you need to do is download and install a simple plug-in.
The best place to view results is the official site, as it’s updated most promptly.
The New York Times has done an excellent job covering the Olympics, too. Stories like this one about two elderly Chinese women being sentenced to a year of "re-education" through labor after protesting that they received inadequate compensation for demolition of their homes prior to the Games characterize the good coverage. Check out their blog, Rings, too.
