Day 30, 31, and 32 - Catching up

460 days ago

Well it should be obvious now that I've fallen behind on the "daily" blog entries, so I'm going to do one big catch up for a couple days here at once. Day 30: Today I spent a long term learning about the camera, and features, and how best to use them. We had a great dinner, one of the best so far, at a place on the east side of town near the bar district... The restaurant was called "The Middle 8th Restaurant". Day 31: Today was a great day we we finally were given upgrade accreditation cards, which will give us Press level access to any of the venues. The purpose of the cards was to allow us access to the Info Clients, which are responsible for all the search, and venue information. I was able to sneak in and watch some of the diving finals, and then went over to birds nest to see some of the track & field finals. Day 32: Today I spent most of the day at the Microsoft office catching up on ...

Day 29 - 8/19/2008 - New Camera Day

462 days ago

Well I've been waiting long enough to finally get a good camera, and today was the day. After much research and advice from some friends and colleagues, I'm going to go buy the Canon 450D (Rebel XSi) camera. It's a great entry SLR camera, and should provide me enough time to buy all the lens and accessories before I need something with more power. After shopping around for about 4 hours we finally found a great shop, and price, and we finished the transaction, and went for a great early dinner (around 3pm). After a good dinner, I went out to the OCD, and though I'd get some new pictures using the new camera, here are a few of the good ones: After finishing the rounds I went back to DHQ to met with a few colleagues, and found that we have recently received a few upgrade cards that can be used to enter some of the venues. So using these cards I was able to go into the Watercube, and Bird's Nest to take some additional photos. ...

Day 28 - 8/18/08 - Working Day, and some Michael Phelps

466 days ago

<UPDATED 8/22/2008> Added Today Show Video link, and a few still pictures with me in the shot. Well today was really slow at work, but I went out for some dinner (at the busiest McDonalds I've ever seen) There was a line to get into the McDonalds, to then wait in the line to place your order, to then stand in another line to wait for your order... Crazy busy... Here's a video from in the store: On the way back, I went by the Morning Show's booth to see how busy and crazy it would be. And to my surprise it was very active with a large amount of athletes, including Michael Phelps. Not the best of pictures, sorry, best I could get ;-) And here is Phelps (well the back of him anyway).... as cool as he is, he sure didn't like turning for the camera, and was quick to run off after the interview... but I guess that happen when you are the most famous Olympian in the world. I'm pretty sure I made it on at least 4 or 5 different ...
