Obama Inauguration Satellite Image Is Pure Geek Porn

Posted by Bradley under Technology

From Geoeye.com:

This half-meter resolution image of the United States Capitol, Washington D.C. was collected by the GeoEye-1 satellite on Jan. 20, 2009 to commemorate the Inauguration of President Barack Obama. The image, taken through high, whispy white clouds, shows the masses of people attending the Inaugural Celebration.

Hit up the link to see the entire National Mall including the Washington Monument.

All the cute Obama moments included.

And such a distinguished and classy interview by Steve Kroft!  Props to him and CBS.

From Cbsnews.com:

Steve Kroft speaks with President-elect Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, about his historic election victory, his personal transition, and his family; And, Andy Rooney salutes the art of print journalism.

Obama’s Blog: Scenes From Election Night

Posted by Bradley under Movies, News, Personal

Barack Obama‘s blog has a Flickr slide show of photos taken during Election Night 2008 with some great behind the scenes shots.

My favorites are Obama‘s reaction to McCain‘s, admittedly, moving concession speech.

And you might have seen this amazing picture floating around the tubes yesterday.

Completely unofficial and probably staged but moving none-the-less.
