You gotta see this video

You HAVE to see this BBC Video. Curling was never THIS cool... until NOW!  

Thanks City Caucus.com for bringing this out!


Other Olympic Things to Do


There is so much OLYMPIC info out there on the web, you almost have to be unemployed to find it all.  In that spirit, and in case I didn't already email this to you, please let me share with you the best sites I have found:

If you didn’t find what you were looking for already, the Tourism Vancouver site has links to North Shore City Events, Surrey Celebration Site, Richmond Ozone, and more, including National and other theme pavilions, with links to their schedules.  http://www.tourismvancouver.com/visitors/vancouver/2010_olympics/2010_events

If you’re just going to stay home and watch, you’ll want to augment with some quality on-line content at

http://www.cbc.ca/olympics/   and
http://www.ctvolympics.ca/index.html  and
http://www.vancouver2010.com/olympic-schedule-results/
