I have been debating about moving my blog to WordPress for a while now. I like the product better, at least the little I’ve played with it. But my LiveJournal blog has all my blog entries from 2003 on…

I am going to play with the import/export and see if it is just that easy to move them over automatically. If it is, I will move. If not — will keep debating.

I am a huge fan of the Olympics.

Sports that I couldn’t care less about at any other time, I will watch during the Olympics. (OK, still not watching ALL the events… some are still too stupid for words even when competing as a world class athlete. Sorry.)

The swimming events is one of those that I love during the Olympics, but don’t pay any attention to otherwise. Especially with all the (well deserved) hype around the US team, I am amazed at what these people are doing. It seems each race is shattering some kind of record. It kind of makes you wonder exactly how fast is possible in the future.

The one race in particular caught my eye – I am pretty sure it was the freestyle relay. I know it was a race on Sunday for the men. It was the race where the record time was beat by approx. 4 seconds. What struck me most about this race is that everyone up to 5th place in this race beat the old world record. 

How heart breaking would it be to break a world record and come in 4th or 5th place? No metal. No ‘glory’. Just broken record that no longer matters.

To those athletes who break records, but still don’t metal… I am routing for you and recognize your glory.
