Drones Add New Angles to Sochi Games Coverage
I think Aussie would have liked these things, and not just because he had a tendency to drone on … and on … and on about his many afflictions and gripes! There is an interesting article in The Atlantic’s online edition about the use of drones. The same unmanned beasts that are so controversial whenContinue reading “Drones Add New Angles to Sochi Games Coverage”
Sochi Hockey Polls

Olympics and Sleep: You Winsome and You Luge Some
I would have medaled, probably repeatedly, had sleeping been an Olympic event.

Sochi Olympics: Sadly security to be the main feature
With the 2014 Olympic Games set to open on February 7 in Sochi, Russia I wonder if the Russians are stating to regret the whole thing as it appears they are going to be in for a rough time. I’m not referring to the actual games and competitions, which should be the focus of theContinue reading “Sochi Olympics: Sadly security to be the main feature”
2020 Vision for Tokyo; Awarded Olympic Games
Seen as a “safe” choice, the IOC yesterday awarded the 2020 Summer Olympic Games to Tokyo, Japan. Istanbul, Turkey finished second and Madrid, Spain was third. Clearly the Japanese organizers had 20/20 vision when putting together their presentation! Lots of excitement to come.
