Its the end of the first month of 2009, and what a month its been. Technology galore yet we cant afford any, economic difficulties worldwide are still rampant, New leader of this country that disappeared 8 years ago, and of course the weather. So while you’re all sipping on your Hot Chocolate, have a look at some of my favourite sites/posts/articles that i found interesting.

First, we have the amazing Gigapan Image of Barack Obama’s inauguration. Now unfortunately the site is down but seeing this is something quite special I will embed here for all to see and admire

I love especially the way you can see Obama looking presidential, Dick Cheney looking as grim as ever, and of course the onlookers, which had to make their way through the mall in temperature of -18° F. “Change has come to America”

I’ve fallen in love with Nokia again, and I’m getting the N95 soon, but new players on the field of smartphones are emerging. Several sources state that Dell is looking into entering the market while Asus (EEE-PC Maker) say they are going to create an EEE-Phone. However I cant seem to believe that they can cut down costs for a  smartphone, and revolutionise low cost smart phones the way that they have done with the netbook.

These are fun ways to quench your boredom, and they look pretty cool too. I especially like the Obama one.

As I am one of those Xbox fanboys, I always smile whenever I hear bad things going over at Sony’s PlayStation Division. Sony’s 4th Quarter Profits are down 95 Percent. Things are not looking good for Sony, and I think a price drop in some devices are coming sooner rather than later. But rumours of a PSP2 are emerging, so you never know.

And now for some good-old fashioned fun
