Men’s Basketball: china vs usa

admin — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 08:01:20 +0000

this is a game that the result is known even before the game, yet this is the game that has attracted probably the most viewers in china. winning is of course important, but sometimes the process is more enjoyable than the result and this is the perfect example.

it does not matter if usa beats china in a massacre style, it only matters if yao ming gets double double, and swinging his way to the basket and dump with a exclamation point with Yao style, it only matters if kobe dribble his way and do a reverse layup like magic show, it only matters if Lebron showed his inside and out game with a dizzling handling of balls and dish out ball that land in a perfect spot…

that is why i heard kobe gets as loud applause as, if not more than, yao ming. you know what does that mean, there is a saying that stated: yao is to chinese fans, is like great wall is to china.

easy to find space in office buildings these days

admin — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 09:00:24 +0000

these days i can see there are more spaces in the parking lot and it is pretty easy to find a parking, regardless when you are coming. we were kinda talk about this today in a meeting, some said it is because of the oil price is going up crazy and lots of people just dont want to drive to work and save some gas. well, good try. some said it is because kids are in summer vacation and people are taking vacation with their kids, that might be more close to what it happened.

of course, the olympics is coming closer, it is a big deal here. may be lots of people are taking the olympics vacation now?

not sure how many live games i can watch, i think it will depends how well the american team is doing, if they are in final, no doubt there will be live show. otherwise, it is more likely to see a reply during the golden hours in late afternoon, and you need to avoid knowing the results before you watch the reply. I listen to the radio alot while i am driving and i am sure to hear something like “ok, if you dont want to know the score, please turn off your radio for 40 sec…”, i feel this is funny but also i think this is pretty caring for the hosters to do this, i would definately appreciated that.

2008 Olympics starts today

admin — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 08:52:06 +0000

the time is now, everyone especially chinese have been waiting for many years for this day, it is finally here.

the olympics will start 2008, august 8, 8 min, 8 sec i guess. that is 8-8-8-8-8, a very good number in china. it is so perfectly matched and the schedule could not be any better. I dont think when china lost to sydney in 2008, they would have thought that we have another chance 8 years later.

Microsoft teamed with NBC to provide video streaming and hosting for olympics games. a whoppy more than 3500 hours of videos will be provided throughout the olympics. the technology behind is the latest Microsoft Silverlight. I have been amassed about what Silverlight have changed the world of web programming, and seeing some of the previews of the NBC olympics is a strong affirmation on what this thing is about. I think it is a matter of time that Silverlight will be everywhere.

The soccer game has actually begun. china is doing not bad. the man’s team tied with new zealand and the women’s team beats sweden 2-1. I watched the record in nbcolympics.com for this two games (well, not the entirety but saw all the goals). it was great, especally see the Silverlight HD video stream works like a charm.
