Toward 2012 

 Summer Olympics in London

I can’t find many people who seem as interested as I am, but the Olympics are coming to my new home city. Granted a few years away but what makes it interesting is the process. This week, for example, dredging has started in the waterway near the Olympic stadium so that barges can bring building material in. See for yourself. Dredging video. 

The 2012 official site is fun. Web cams will track change in the venue over time. Map with videos.
