Is this where all my data is stored?

There will probably be some analog clouds over Vancouver for the 2010 winter Olympics.
12.4.2009
I live in Vancouver and after seeing Beijing’s 2008 Olympics and what London has planned for 2012, I think we’re going to be humiliated by our pathetic attempt for the 2010 games here.
12.4.2009
Kind of awesome, kind of an eyesore.Could confuse the birds, too. In the end, I’ll file this one under Colossal Waste of Money.
12.4.2009
Knowing us, it’ll be finished in 2016 and will be eleventy-trillion pounds over budget…
12.4.2009
Fake. But if it is real, than the future is here. Hoverboard please!Side note: that is a lot of walking just to get up there to see the same images you can see on the ground…or on your phone.
12.4.2009
I have doubts that a two-bit scoundrel like Calrissian can pull this off
12.4.2009
Good for you. It’s a big waste of money, and you should be proud that helping people and researching tech is a larger priority to your nation than a giant sports game.
12.4.2009
The name doesn’t really seem appropriate.
12.4.2009
If this is built, I just hope that it’ll be kept there, rather than taken down a few years later like some things tend to be.
12.4.2009
Yes. But currently it is not in London, it is in Narnia
12.4.2009
It looks insane. I like it.
12.4.2009
Doesn’t it rain enough in England?
12.4.2009
For those wondering- tinyurl.com/olympicslogoLisa Simpson giving head
12.4.2009
It is an intriguing concept and some of us don’t live our lives on digg, missing it the first time?
12.4.2009
wtf… why?`
12.4.2009
Digital rainclouds would be cooler :0
12.4.2009
Google, enough with the cloud.
12.4.2009
those are bubbles
12.4.2009
Does this make anyone else want to take a bubble-bath?
12.4.2009
Why? I’m all for art and sculpture but why are we trying to replace the sun, sky, and clouds? You know that ***** is gonna cost several million just to obscure someone’s view.
12.4.2009
Reminds me of Sim city 2000 arcologies.
12.4.2009
What a waste.
12.4.2009
Looks more like a chimney with smoke coming out to me.
12.4.2009
you’ll shoot your eye out
12.4.2009
If they are digital then does that mean it is either dry or a torrential downpour? None of that in between stuff like drizzle or fog.
12.4.2009
Don’t worry, it’s okay.It’s not like anyone actually watches the Winter Olympics.

2012 Olympics: s’gonna be a bit ***** – Al Murray
12.4.2009
Oooooh, I get it!Wait. Nevermind. What is this for?
12.4.2009
Does anyone even care about 2010? I’m Canadian and I barely care, it’s disappointing.
12.4.2009
I guess that sort of makes up for the logo?
12.4.2009
Should fit at right at home in London then.
12.4.2009
Who knows?^
12.4.2009
And the citizens get to pay for it. Thanks Olympics!
12.4.2009
Where’s my BB gun?!
12.4.2009
Not afraid of heights normally, but that gives me vertigo just looking at it.
12.4.2009
HAHA!.. that’s hilarious!
12.4.2009
who are those people just hanging around in the balloons in the 3rd picture? That one guy looks trapped. Maybe one of the construction workers? i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2009/12/01/Olymp …

Is December the 1st the new April the 1st?
12.4.2009
Me?¬
12.4.2009
Am I the only one wondering why there isn’t a comment about the end of the world here? (besides this one)
12.4.2009
"Paid for via fundraising on sites like facebook and twitter"Ha, in other news, the 2 billion dollar project manages to erect 3 bubbles.
12.4.2009
Un-censored twitter messages on the displays? @2010 Sounds like fun
12.4.2009
i like that
12.4.2009
I can’t not see that now.
12.4.2009
awesome
12.4.2009
Looks too good (or rather ***** scary) to be true.
12.4.2009
This is from a month or two back. There’s no new information. The concept is one of a slew of possibles that haven’t been downselected to a winner yet.What’s the point of posting again?
