Rather troublesome
OK, I'm a bit worried.
Microsoft shuts down Chinese blog
[MSNBC.com 6 jan '06]
This is the country I'm going to visit in March. I'm going there to work with public librarians. I'm a librarian with a blog, and perhaps, dare I say, a "librarian blogger," who is a big believer in free speech and a dissident when it comes to subscribing to "blogger ethics" (I have my own, thank you).
I'm wondering what this will mean for me on my trip. I'm still trying to get details on what internet access will be like (how much it might cost me, how fast are we looking at, and whether or not it will be wireless). I'm also looking into what I will and will not have access to on the web. I'll need to call the folks from the program to ask whether or not even blogging the trip will be OK, given this hoopla and other issues that might come up.
Crazy.
