SOME RANDOM DUDE

This issue is somewhat off topic for this site, but it is too important not to bring up. There are more and more signs that Net Neutrality is losing support in US governmental circles. Recently, there has been a very good discussion on this blog about free speech - specifically on the internet. Net Neutrality would ensure that free speech and access to information would be safeguarded for all users (at least in the US). Without Net Neutrality, large telecoms could essentially decide what users can and cannot view - the consequences of this are potentially crippling.

I am away from the city this weekend, so I did not get to do any “blog chores” this weekend. I will have a long stretch next weekend and an even longer stretch in about three months or so. Until then…

Enjoy the links.

The week is closing up, so it is about time to drop some links. It has been a while since I broke 30 for the amount of links - time opened up a little more this week, giving me a chance to post a little more. I especially got a kick out of the wall of shame for Fox News - quite a bit of laughter and nausea all at the same time. I may have one more post up my sleeve for today - otherwise, have a good weekend.

Enjoy the links.

There are a ton of article-based links for you this week. Honestly, this has to be the most unbalanced collection of any week that I can remember. Still, nothing be good clicks for you readers. I have to say, the twisted humor I possess loves the The Nietzsche Family Circus site - truly genius! My good friends Sergio and Kimmy had two very good articles as well - well worth the read.

Well, the crazy week is coming to an end. Things will be starting to slow down ever-so-slightly for at least a short period - I hope during that time the site will finally be completed. I will be devoting some time towards it this weekend and I hope to have another article out this upcoming Monday or Tuesday.

It was another crazy week in world events so I slacked off the design links. I will try to balance it out a little next week.
