Tonight I was giving a techie walkthrough for a friend via MSN (a.k.a. “Windows Live Messeger”) when I had the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSOD).

Man, was I pissed off. So it was that much sweeter when I read that the BSOD itself had a cameo during the Olympic Opening Ceremony. How cool is that?

At the exact moment Li Ning was rounding the lip of the Bird’s Nest during the amazing torch-lighting climax, someone snapped this photo of our good friend the BSOD nestled amongst the Nest’s steel twigs. Perhaps an Opening Cermonies IT dude spit out his coffee on the machines in the server room when Li took to the sky?

Resolved: This is more embarrassing for China than their smog and human rights record combined!
