Ok, maybe you didn't in some lottery which allowed you to go to the Presidential Inauguration. Maybe you don't like crowds (and there are going to be some big crowds!). Maybe you're going to be stuck at work, or maybe you simply don't care that much. Either way, there are lots and lots of websites that purport to stream the even live. I'm not sure why you'd want to watch it on your computer when all the major networks will be broadcasting it live to your glorious big, clear TV set. If you are somewhere that has no TV, but does have a computer with internet access, like work, there are many sites that will stream the inauguration. Here is a list of a few. HULU, USTREAM, Joost. All the major news networks will have coverage as well, including CNN, MSNBC and CBS.
If you don't have access to a computer, the iphone has a couple of applications that may help, the first is Joost. They are streaming this event, and they do have an iphone application. Hopefully they will stream to both the computer and the iphone applicaitons. They only work on wifi though, no 3G. Ustream also has an iphone applicaiton, but as of this writing it has not yet been released. You could try emailing them for a pre-releashed copy at iphone@ustream.tv.
Of the new mediums out there,twitter has shown to be one of the best at live action coverage. check them out and use the tag #inauguration in the search feature to follow live when thousands of people who use twitter. Where ever you may be, may technology help you to enjoy it!
