Did you know the U.S. Government has an “official web portal?” I didn’t, until today. I don’t know why I didn’t know about it, but whatever. At FirstGov.gov you can actually do some useful and/or interesting things, like find out how to get or renew a passport, contact elected officials, find lots of statistics, and keep up with those weird regulations on what you can or can’t take on an airplane.

I thought the image search (which I read about today on Lifehacker) was really cool. You get to see results and an index by collection, which can lead to some interesting browsing. Check out the first result page for “presidential pets” (I’m not sure why a picture of Bill Clinton all by himself shows up, but OK!).

Anyway, it’s good to see there’s a really useful web resource available from the government. Apparently not everyone in Washington is as ignorant as Ted “the Internet is a series of tubes” Stevens!

I’ll be uploading more baby pictures to Flickr today (I hope), as well as posting some new WoW screenshots (also I hope).
