3. Eh, screw 'em this one time.

It's a done deal; let them moan and complain as they will, & fu** 'em.

4. I'm in that photo!

See the whitish line that is a gap in the crowd toward the back. That's the road in front of the Capitol. I'm to the left between the hardware tower and the tree and am leaning against the fence.

(You can't really see me, but I'm there.)

5. NY Times had an Interactivve 360 degree Photo that you might be able to find yourself

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/01/20/us/politics/20090120-inauguration-panos.html

The zoom doesn't work well in Chrome or IE - but it might in some other browser. But the panning is great.

And there was another interactive one that works very well for Zoom - but not panaromic.
It selected different folks in that massive crowd (Clarence Thomas, Bush, etc.) and things (the camera stand, JBL speakers, etc.) that you could just click and it'd zutomatically zoom in on them.

Like I say, the zoom works great - but it's not 360 degress.

7. I remember seeing that at the time.

And I was able to find myself. I recognized my jacket. It was too much of a blur to prove to anyone it was me, but it definitely was.
