Olympic Torch Relay
2008_04_10_small.jpg

I tried to catch a glimpse of the relay yesterday but the route was changed and I only got to see protesters and supporters (and a whole bunch of onlookers). Still, it was a pretty cool experience.

In the process, I also gained a newfound respect for the more extreme aspects of social networking. While wondering where the torch had gone, friends and I tried searching the web with our cell phones. It seemed that the only source of data that was reliably being updated was Twitter. If we were ambitious enough (i.e. cared to spend the money on a cab), I know that we could have caught up with it.
