About the blackout

Do you want to log on to the internet and see what amounts to this:

Yeah. Neither do we.

We considered participating in the blackout tomorrow. You may notice that popular sites are blacked out tomorrow. Wikipedia, reddit, some wordpress sites, Google–all blacked out.

Instead, we decided to focus on education for our local community and to urge you to educate yourself and take action.

Educate yourself on the two bills better known as SOPA and PIPA. We recommend the EFF’s assessment and interpretation of SOPA/PIPA. (We can’t say it any better than the EFF!)
