this is super cool, especially if you're a politics junkie

apparently a photographer used a robot to take many high resolution images from the side of the inauguration, then used his mac to stitch them together into a giant picture. his blog lets you look at the picture and then zoom in to remarkably high resolution.

i recommend you zoom in to get a good look at obama (keep zooming until the resolution ceases to improve, but that is pretty far!). Then, cruise around the seats behind him to see all the different politicians who were back there. and help me answer the question: what the heck is laura bush wearing? it looks like a mom sweatshirt. and could dick cheney look more evil (he's got a black cowboy hat on)?

Cool picture. Dick does look really grumpy, but then he was attacked by killer boxes. He probably went home and shot them. Laura Bush was wearing a beige suit and I think the coat just looks really sweatshirt like from this angle. I actually really liked her outfit.

Miss you.
