My gut tells me this is probably old news to a few readers, but still facinating as hell: Carl Malamud wants a permanent, public, high-resolution online archive of all congressional proceedings, on the floor and in committee. This seems like a no-brainer for democracy and government transparency, and it sort of surprises me that this is only just now happening.

Lots of tasty tidbits in that almost hour-long Google Tech Talk video, especially at 31:10 - real-time bullshit calling on congressional testimony by web users. Cool.
