Letter from Zimbabwe

September 3rd, 2008 · 1 Comment

Quite a while ago I got in touch with a fellow blogger named Nick, who I met via the wonderful StumbleUpon community. He’s a young guy who got in touch with the United States justice system at a rather early (but common) age. He blogs about how this all happened and about life in prison. [...]

April 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment

He’s a best-selling author and an expert on business management practices and problem-solving.

Bulgaria, which does not yet use the euro, will spell it as ‘eur’ even though their request to spell it as evro. It’s simply ridiculous that this was turned down. In Cyrillic spelling, the Western ‘u’ is spelled [...]

Take Action Now! (Update)

September 28th, 2007 · 3 Comments

Junta’s crackdown in Burma intensifies
