Today, I watched as Barack Obama was sworn in as President. I stood in the Cape Code lounge of the Student Union and watched the coverage on CNN with a hundred other faculty, staff, and students. People clapped and cheered when Obama spoke. There was subdued boos and hissing when George Bush was shown. I turned my back on Rick Warren, although it appeared that most simply tolerated his invocation. There was huge emotion when Barack Obama took the oath of office and gave his speech. Most notable for me was his specific acknowledgment of non-believers, along with Christians, Muslims, Jews, and Hindus. I think Bush thought that non-believers should be waterboarded. I also noticed that Obama mentioned that people of all languages shaped the US. I thought about writing a blog-post for E-USA about how that meant that also Esperanto shaped the US (since it is a language, after all).

Later in the afternoon, I took my laptop to ACW to get it repaired. Hopefully, I will hear tomorrow how bad the damage is. Hopefully, it is just the hard-drive and I'll have it back quickly.
