Bloody censors.

A brief interlude to mention that about 1/3 of websites seem to be blocked from China, including most of the major blogging sites (Livejournal for example), Wikipedia, etc.  A lot of the blockage seems entirely random – I can’t see how online fiber arts shops would offend the Chinese censors, for example.  At any rate, I feel fortunate to be able to post to my blog at all (all things considered), but I regret to tell you that one of this hotel, the Chinese censors, or my ISP is blocking FTP transfers, meaning I can’t update my website right now, and possibly not until I get back.  C’est la vie.  I will post the better photos in my blog for now, and update my website when I get a chance.
Meanwhile, here is a photo of Mike in front of a Shanghai McDonald’s:
