Inauguration of Barack Obama Today: How are you celebrating and viewing it?

I am excited about a new president and the historical nature of how today will represent hope in a post-racial America. In plain English that means we just elected our first black president which is a big deal. Also, I like that our new president can actually put a few words together. No offense to W, but Obama is a rarely gifted communicator.

What are people doing to celebrate? Some will buy cool memorabilia like this action figure to celebrate. I know what I am doing. I intend to celebrate the inauguration live  and come in a bit late to the office to do so. CNN will be my choice because I like Anderson Cooper and their HD.

How are you viewing this historical event? Doing it TV, online, TIVO, or smart phone?
