A friend of mine who lives in NYC wrote me today to mention,
"I like that they completely changed the whitehouse.gov website at exactly 12:01PM. (By U.S. constitutional law, obama becomes the president at 12:00PM on January 20th, regardless of whether he's taken the oath yet.) They've made some interesting changes, that are both more web-savvy and more modern. All the presidential portraits, which had been paintings, have been replaced with photographs where available, basically all the way back to Lincoln. They also completely rewrote George W. Bush's presidential biography, too."
