Obama Sworn In

Okay, I admit it, I watched.

I'm at work and flipped on my Slingbox connection at home to see the inaguration. One of my co-workers was watching it streamed on MSNBC, so I figured I'd watch as well. Beyond JFK's famous "ask not what your country can do for you" speech, I haven't seen a single second of an inaguration -- until now. After watching pieces of this one, I think I'll avoid the next one too. How can so many people like standing in the cold for this type of event? It boggles the mind.

If I could sum up the proceedings in one word, I would choose boring. I actually found myself yawning a couple of times.

Luckily with my Slingbox, I could fast-forward through the slow parts to the good parts (admistration of the oaths of office, and a few sound bites from the acceptance speech). With my attention span being so low, "cut to the chase" is a good idea to keep me interested.

Okay, game on. Let's get 'em Barack.
