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. [...]

Anyway, I [...]

In Cyrillic spelling, the Western ‘u’ is spelled [...]

Junta’s crackdown in Burma intensifies
Internet access ‘cut off’ in attempt to silence Burma
