It’s a massive panaroma of the Obama inauguration is unbelievable detail. It’s got over 2 gigs of data (don’t worry, it doesn’t all come down when you load the page!) and is made up of 220 different photos.

What I love about this is the page is extremely slick and really easy to use. It totally captures the moment too.

Have fun wasting time playing around with it!

I remember this in 2004, the Obama speech at the DNC Convention and people were talking about this great hope that was coming. I think he was just elected to the Senate a few months before. Who would have thought…

In 2007, promises were made…

Then there was the great “Yes We Can” speech…

The election night. Spine tingling stuff!

I guess America, and the rest of us are hoping the words will be turned into action now.

[Update: One last video to add -> The inauguration speech]
