Thanks to Rick Martin of CNET's Little Red Blog for sharing pointing to this YouTube video. I've been looking for more visuals of the Beijing Olympic architecture. I have to admit, early pictures of the Bird's Nest under construction didn't really impress but looking at it now, I can't wait to check it out in person!

Caught this tweet from @fuzheado just now on Twitter...
of course, it got me curious. I'm really looking forward to a trip out to Beijing hopefully next month so I can see all the crazy cool architecture first hand...
...in the meantime, does this look like a pair of pants or underpants to you? Are we talking the granny variety?
Update: there's nothing like getting first person perspective of what everyone's talking about in reference to "pants" so here are a few shots. This one's from @fuzheado that was taken a few months ago:
This one's from @guerel taken last week:
yea...i guess they do bear a resemblance to pants...not underpants (unless i've been missing out on some *really* retro fashion trend?) but they definitely look like a pair of pants when taken from the viewpoint of someone standing under the building. Interesting.

A big THANK YOU to Elliott Ng who's China blog CNReviews.com is making it possible for me to vlog during tech week in Beijing from May 21-24 and Shanghai again until May 30th!
CNReviews.com will also be co-hosting a cocktail with The China Business Network on May 22nd following the first day of the CHINICT 08 Conference.
Elliott has been a great supporter of The China Business Network's efforts at continuing to build a bridge between China and the international community. During this month's trip to China, we'll be meeting with prominent bloggers and friends in China's tech community in Beijing and Shanghai to outline plans for our inaugural international tour of China's 2.0 sector in November.
In addition to The Great Wall, Forbidden City, tour of Olympic architecture and a planned party in Shanghai, the tour will be a first of its kind inviting international bloggers to join us for 2 days in Beijing, 2 days in Shanghai and ending with a VIP afterparty following this year's CNBloggercon in Guangzhou. It will include tours of Chinese startups such as Tudou.com and meetups with key members of China's blogger and tech community.
And in case you are wondering. Your official guide for this tour will be yours truly. Sponsorship packages will be available for company's who want to get involved and we will even feature your corporate logo on the official tour hats and flags that I'll be embarrassing all of you around town with. (heh. come on, you don't want to get lost do you?) Stay tuned and block out the first few weeks in November while we get back to you with more details.

I spent a good part of an hour today just taking a sneak peak at all the insane architecture for the Beijing Olympics. Those of you on the ground in Beijing have literally seen the city change in front of your eyes over the past several years and I only got tiny glimpses of it during the few days I spent there some months back for a conference.
Here's one I'd like to share with you because if it looks anything like the way it's been conceptualized, THAT is totally on my list of must-see places either before or after the madness of the games.
For more information on the WaterCube, check out this article. And you can also find out more about the Australian company behind its design here.
