Organizers of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games unveiled their Olympic logo over the weekend. It's called Ilanaaq and it's an inukshuk, a symbol deeply rooted in Inuit culture. You can see it here. Some like it, some hate it. A colleague just told me it looked like something his kid

S.W.A.T: 3 out of 10. The dialogue is brutal, the story line is scattered and uninteresting and the talented cast is completely wasted. I gave S.W.A.T two hours of my life because it starred Samuel L. Jackson. I'll never see those two hours again
