Of course, there has to be one: the Obama action figure. Comes with three (3) pairs of interchangeable hands. The suit is not fitting him very well though. (link via Jeansnow.net)

Despite my nose being a leaking faucet, I managed to catch most of the inauguration last night. What for, I guess some might say, well, it just seems unreasonable to blame the damn economy, the damn wars, the damn anything-that-is-wrong-with-the-world on a certain country and not be concerned with who’s governing that same country. Even though the inauguration is, well, just an inauguration. It was fun to watch, and I couldn’t help but snicker (cruel as that might sound) at Dick Cheney.

I was actually more impressed with CNN.com. Was watching the ceremony online since ten p.m., and the streaming was smooth as hell. Only until a little before midnight did the live video start to break a little (and then I just took over the tv outside). Why should I be impressed then? Considering the amount of traffic the site was getting, I was surprised I could even get to see any video. So maybe low expectations are the key to pleasant surprises, but for someone with a shitty internet connection (apparently, this computer gets the poorest signal among all the others at home), it was a very pleasant and welcomed surprise.

You will need Silverlight, but this is kinda cool. I wonder how many people will download Silverlight just to view that.
