It doesn’t take a $300M opening ceremony to bring the world together

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

I’ll wager that Matt Harding’s “Dancing” videos (also available in low-bandwidth and on Vimeo) have done as much to foster international goodwill as this year’s overhyped, overcommercialized Olympic Games.

I’ve known about Where The Hell Is Matt? for a while now, watched the video(s) many times, and yet it never fails to bring a tear or two to my eyes. I think the video speaks for itself far better than any hyperbole that I might try to add, so I’ll only say that if one geek doing his funny little dance is enough to bring a bit of the world a bit closer together, then maybe there’s still hope for us all.
