I haven’t talked about what’s going on in Egypt and Libya and Bahrain And Tunisia and everywhere else over there that I may have forgotten about. It’s not that I don’t think it’s important. I guess it’s just that I felt I didn’t have anything else to add except holy crap look at the carnage …

But of course, nothing moves without money, so they’re looking for donations. Here’s the info. Dear Friend, The fight to stop usage based Internet billing …
Well, it looks like Donna Jodhan won her lawsuit. That didn’t take long. I hate how vague this is being. It says the government has to make its sites accessible to the visually-impaired. But how?
