Greetings Technorati members and BC Nation... 

This week on Blogcritics our Olympic-sized coverage of the Winter Games in Vancouver continues with Matt Sussman's "big and brawny" Olympic curling preview, while Semprini ponders the implications of patriotism, nationalism, and the Olympics. 

Elsewhere on BC, our crack team of reviewers continues our commitment to pointing our readers in all the right directions when it comes to what's hot and what's not. El Bicho checks out the latest from the Johnny Cash/Rick Rubin series of American Recordings: Aint' No Grave; Luigi Bastardo sinks his teeth into Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant on Blu-ray; and Nancy Fontaine reads Shankar Vendantam's The Hidden Brain. 

All of that plus demographic myth-making, Microsoft Googling, and more await you this week at the mighty Blogcritics Magazine.
