Section of the complete graphic
Rachel Mercer‘s graphic “Presidential Costs” shows, in a circular timeline, the history of the US through a history of the presidents, from Washington through Obama. Four layers of rings plus a ring of bubbles visualizes the time periods, key legislative acts, foreign conflicts and wars, and national debt. Very nice graphic.
Just found the transcript (with picture!) of George Washington’s 1st State of the Union address as published on 21 JAN 1790 — http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/George_Washington%27s_First_State_of_the_Union_Address. Fascinating!
LifeHacker has a nice write-up listing some ways to watch the inauguration tomorrow: http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/lifehacker/full/~3/ZzH3mAEEhsQ/lifehackers-guide-to-catching-the-inauguration-from-anywhere
