As I write the closing ceremony is being shown by NBC right now.  Thanks to a little magic by Orb.com I am recording it and will watch it tomorrow without the commericals and without needed to stay up until the wee hours of the morning.

This was a gerat olympics, one of the best in recent memories for me.  On far too many nights I found myself up way too late watching the coverage.  With such atheletes as Michael Phelps and Bolt, there was plenty to watch and enjoy.

The surprise of this Olympics was how much I enjoyed all of the volleyball events.  What came as no surprise is that I still don't like watching Olympic basketball.

I thought handball and field hockey were going to be really fun to watch, but in the end they just were a bit bland for me.

BMX and Mountain Biking definitly caught my attention this year as sports that seemed pretty dang cool and challenging.  Archery is another that looks like it could be sort of fun to watch.

With the coverage at NbcOlympics.com this year it made seeing all of those sports really easy and that was awesome.  I hope that the next time around they will actually stream commentary with the events as well.

We threw our traditional Olympic home country themed party last night.  Lots of Chinese decorations and Chinese food.  I got myself all MSG'D up!  We had a blast. 

Can't wait for Vancouver, who knows?  Maybe we will go, I hae always wanted to see the biathlon live!
