Check out this 1.4 gigapixel photo of Obama's Inauguration!

BTW, anybody know who the two creepy-looking dudes in hats to Bush's left and behind Obama are? They seem like they might be Cancer Man's cronies. I think the guy immediately to his left is Cheney, but I'm not sure about the other one.

I love those. I actually have one of those devices if you ever want to try it.

You have a device that helps take stitched panoramics? I assume that's what this is. Oh. Right. Like this? http://www.gigapansystems.com/

Yes, exactly that in fact. =) It was developed by some CMU guys IIRC.

Very cool. If you look carefully, you can see mis-stitches - like, peoples' faces in two places.

Yes, I'm pretty sure the person to Bush's immediate left is Cheney. He was in a wheelchair that day after straining his back. I have no idea on the other.

The other guy I think is a Supreme Court justice, since he's up there with Scalia, Thomas, etc. Going by the photos I would guess it's David Souter?

The other cool part is you can scan the rooftops to play "spot the snipers".
