    Apparently, the Olympic media center doesn't have full access to the Internet. The Chinese government (and their American enablers like Google and Cisco) are treating reporters like Chinese citizens. Gee, what a shock.

    I just lost about 10 minutes of my work night going through the dog vacation photos. Totally worth it.

    In the irony department, it's taken 10 minutes for the second page of the story to open on my computer.
