Mo’naugural
At pain of reaching complete burnout on this subject…
- As usual, The Big Picture hosts some excellent galleries:
- Inaugural Preparations features some great, little-seen details. I love these fragmented Obama eyes, plus this image of the Lego capitol. [Update: Reuters features more images of the Lego scene.]
- The inauguration gallery includes images of people watching the show from Sadr City to Mexico City.
- The Newseum hosts hundreds of front pages documenting the events. [Via Marc Pawliger]
- Pranksters in SF have changed Bush St. to Obama St. (I remember hearing after the 2000 election that people had changed “Bush” to “Puppet.”)
- Updates:
- CNN hosts a zoomable version of the satellite image I mentioned yesterday.
- The NYT has added overlay text identifying most of the people in the zoomable photo of the swearing-in. That strikes me as a much more useful application of the technology.
