I have been watching a little bit of the Athens Olympics. This was the first time I had ever seen synchronized diving, and I am very impressed. It’s so cool to watch the symmetry (or lack thereof) of the divers. The camera angles are so interesting too, especially the “chase” camera, which follows the divers all the way down and underwater. That is pretty cool. I also watched a little swimming, weightlifting, rifle, and cycling.

For me, Olympic basketball is not interesting at all. I mean, we get to see basketball all the time. I guess I’d rather see some sports that they don’t show on tv that often. Speaking of things on tv, what the hell is up with the “World Series of Poker” that is on ESPN *all the time*. I mean, is it really a sport? And why is it on every night? I though a championship tournament would last for maybe a week at longest. It seems like it’s been going on for half a year….
