I've half convinced myself that blogging here doesn't count because no one will ever read it. Commented on a friend's LJ earlier today that the urge to blog was strong. And then I read this article: home.businesswire.com/portal/...ndex.jsp I can't use html in this huh. Lame. <a href="www.thisisbullshit.com"></a>
So. I read that sucker. On slashdot. And the urge to blog came again. Must resist! Gnaahhh.....

Die Flash site designers die!!

... But I kind of decided that this was important and that I wanted to put it on the interweb somewhere that it might get read. I'll probably dump in on my various forum communities as well.

If you monitor news feeds like slashdot's Your Rights Online [yro.slashdot.org/] you probably know that the government is doing all kinds of fun crap that will affect our lives. I'm generally a pretty hands-off person politically, but you just don't fuck with the big brain, damnit. I love my internet and I don't like to see it threatened. So, pour vous, some fun resources I thought everyone should be aware of, whether or not you feel inclined to get involved:

www.democraticmedia.org/ - I find their name a bit ironic because I have my doubts about the ultimate fate of democracy, but they do have lots of great references and action alerts.

www.netaction.org/ - etc.
