The Google blogout?

I am still intrigued by the news that Google is censoring content .. per country..
I am interested in why. Twitter is doing it, too.. Google is joining in. And even without SOPA we apparently are becoming hit with censorship–the very kind that Google had a grand logo and fought against during the Congressional battle over the bill.
EarthInformer is hosted on Blogger. The content is on the Google system. And since the last decade, Google stopped allowing its users to FTP their blog directly to their own server. It’s all housed … there. Not with you. But ..there.
So I have a choice..
Continue EarthInformer as is, backing up regularly, and hoping censorship doesn’t happen .. even if earthinformer.com doesn’t matter at all in the scheme of things.
Or..
Leave. Go. Say bye to this part of the net.. I’m thinking.

Superbowl mania.. news still happening

And while other news is occurring and the world is burning, most of our tuned in for the Superbowl rematch. Which is fine. A brief reprieve from the heartache caused by the heartburn of the 24 hour news cycle. But if I do say so myself, this year seems to be featuring the most deplorable and least funny commercials ever to air during a Superbowl? I am sure some of you will detract from my pronouncement of horrid advertising but I am standing by it..

While the Superbowl airs and Madonna almost falls, all of this is still happening




First Pat Sajak said he drank in the early days of THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE, and now this: Daniel Radcliffe says he was drunk during some HARRY POTTER scenes as well.. No word on his nude appearance with a horse on stage, maybe others had to be drunk to watch that..

Also while the commercials tonight are being played.. this is still a mystery
