Well... here's a spoiler for y'all... if you get to the end of the article, you learn that the full name of the Chinese version of American Idol is named:
"Mongolian Cow Sour Yogurt Super Girl Contest," in honor of its sponsor

tinyurl = awesome
Hmmmm...
"The government is reasonably tolerant of well-educated professionals online. But the farmers, upset about corrupt local officials, are serious activists, and they pose a real threat to Beijing; they staged 70,000 demonstrations in 2004, many of which the government violently suppressed."
I wish the article had discussed poverty and corruption in greater detail. How is the internet and the challenges and choices of foreign Internet companies, relevant to the farmers or migrant workers? Is the internet, as google evidently hopes, an inherently positive opportunity, or potentially another way for party officials and economic elites to consolidate their hold on political power?
mac based MAME cab, cut out of metal. HOT.
thanks onny, I will read it when my work slows down.
I think I just committed myself to learning asp.net. woot. that may mean that I get a pc to develop on.
would that tiny url creator, being built into the page be useful for anyone? I am getting the itch to upgrade partymode again.
here's a link to an interesting long-form (10 pages) NYTimes article that I came across last night. The title is "Google in China" but, having read only half the article, it seems to be more about the Internet in China, censorship, and culture.
10pm! awesome, I will be there and square. Should I wear a tie?
BBQ = tonight at 10.
mr. beard, just bring your hamsome self.
I have a Big Important Question for all of you html junkies.
I'm working on my brother's new website, and we were thinking of having one of those little "sign up for the mailing list" boxes, with a "submit" button.
How would this work? is it very complicated? where could those email addresses that people submit be sent?
any ideas?
edit: also, jonbro, where can i find that image display thing you showed me once...i think it was called lightbox? I can't seem to find the page you showed me.
another edit:never mind, i found the lightbox thingy.
So I ran into Josh at le olde Union Grille and he acted like he didn't know me!
Just so the rest of you know, I got a haircut and beard trimming...it was that time of the year...
I heard from him there were plans Fri night. Gallery crawl, then a bbq? I dont know if I'll be back in time for the crawl (630-7ish?) but is there anything you guys need that I can provide for the BBQ?
