The numbing inconsequentiality of those last few posts should not be taken as a sign that I have succumbed to the dismal Twitter-ing mentality. Oh, no. I'm just enjoying being in touch with my blog again, revelling in thumbing my nose at the censors. You see, I just remembered that during the last big Internet clampdown (beginning of June) I set up Blogger access via my e-mail account. And it works just fine. Ha, ha, suckers! What are you going to try now? Block my e-mail as well? Well, they might. It has been known. |

My employer is taking extreme measures along the same lines as the invisible hand which snarls your Internet connectivity. Ostensibly the reason for blocking blogs is because they are social/networking sites and hence conducive to spreading viruses.
It's hard to escape the sense that there's a little bit of Nanny State going on, though. Recently, I was unable to access The Onion "fake news" site because (said the block page) it was a sex site. A couple days later, the label had been changed to "malicious Web site." A bit closer, but still not really on-target, y'know?
Hmm, yes - 'satirical' and 'irreverent' would get you blocked in China, but one hopes for greater openness in The Land Of The Free.
