Island in the Net by Khürt Williams
Technology and Photography Musings. Established circa 2000.
Tomorrow, along with many other websites, my blogs – Island in the Net, Khürt/photos, Khürt/blog – will go dark in protest of the Stop Online Privacy Act. There is a lot written about SOPA online – search Google – but from my understanding it will pretty much censor the Web.
If you want to learn more come back to blog after 8AM tomorrow (EST).
