Prepare for the Opening Ceremony: Watch it live, and Twitter about it too

will posted 08/08/08 @ 2:19AM EST

Whether or not the Olympics excite you, the opening ceremony should be a good show. The Wikipedia entry talks about who will be performing, and which country's leaders won't be attending (France, England, America). You'll be able to watch the opening ceremony live here. That site should also be streaming the rest of the Olympics live. If that doesn't end up working, or you just want other video sources, Lifehacker gives you some resources.
Edit: Well, apparently this starts in less than 6 hours, at 8:08am EST. Stupid timezones.

If you're into Twitter*, you should participate with the #080808 hash tag. If you aren't sure what hash tags have to do with Twittering, read this. I intend on stealing @rambls' avatar for the day (it's okay, he said I could). In other Twitter Olympics matters @beijingolympic is someone Twittering the games; worth following.
