The opening ceremony for the 2010 Winter Olympics is tonight. You can watch the ceremonies on NBC. It seems like only yesterday that we had the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, but it has been over a year and a half.
I plan on trying to watch several events, such as at least one speed skating event, ski jumping, and some other ski event like slalom, bobsled/skeleton/luge (pick one), some figure skating, and maybe some other sport.

Google Buzz: The Facebook Killer?
Google Buzz was just announced today. It is part Facebook, part Twitter, part Google. It will allow users to provide status updates, comment on these updates (sound familiar?) but unlike Facebook it will be directly tied by default to a lot of services people use, like Flickr.
Better yet, you already have all your contacts, within your Google Contacts.
While I don't think this will kill Facebook overnight, it will put a big dent in it.
I haven't yet tried out the service, and it is not yet active in my Google account. It likely will be within 48 hours, so I'll post an update then. And since 90% of the people I know have a Gmail account, let me know what your thoughts are.

The first big nanotech product?
Just read this interesting piece on liquid glass. It seems that an extremely light coating of this stuff could go a long way to protecting objects and also making them much easier to clean.
Will cans of this be available at Wal-mart soon?
