We took our boys to go to the San Diego Zoo.  It was amazing to see how much they have grown.  Everything went smoothly and they had a really great time.  They followed direction and repeated every animals name that we came across.  Chase really loved the Elephants and wanted to stay there watching them for a while.  We also fed the giraffes which was pretty cool.  Aiden dropped his pacifier in the koala exhibit and we had to get someone to fish it out.  We ate dinner there and the went to the reptile area.  Man there are some pretty cool snakes.  U was sad that the polar bears were a little sleepy but there was some good monkey action.  In all it was one of the best trips yet.

So I was showing Chrisitne the travesty that is the London Olympic Logo for 2012 when she asked me what does the Beijing Logo look like.  So I did a google search and found some really good logo concepts for Beijing that did not quite make it.  I don’t know why but I think they would have been better.

This one was pretty strong.  Unfortunately the balance is off on the design!

Here we get a well balanced concept. The dead Tibetan monks robes do not stand out enough.

This one is good but a little understated.  I don’t think the concept reads well

This one is technically not a logo but it shows the thought process of the final design.

So I just finished watching Phelps make history. WOW!  That was amazing.  In part this is all thanks to my On Demand service with Verizon Fios.  I hate giving made props to a utility service but I must say that they are keeping up with HD content as fast as it is being filmed.  I have been able to watch all the Olympic events that matter to me and not have to record them or look for them.  They are just there waiting for me to hit play.  Absolutely amazing.
