Amnesty International in China

05 August 2008 in Internet, Notes, Politics by Stilgherrian | 3 comments

I’ve just recorded an interview with Amnesty International’s Sophie Peer about human rights in China, with an emphasis on Internet censorship. The video is online, though the vision is just me talking on the phone.

Good on you for doing the interview … glad I could help connect you up with Amnesty’s campaign team, I wrote this blog post a few days ago to do my bit for the cause after having a chat with Sophie Take Action Against Chinese Internet Censorship

Yes @Zombie_Plan I'll eventually write up full details of the production process, both process-wise and tech-wise. 25 mins ago
I've decided there won't be an Edict tonight. It takes longer to write / record / prep / upload than I have energy for tonight. Tomorrow? 34 mins ago
Well @HyperBrendan I'd scheduled an Edict but to be honest I'm rather tired and uninspired so I'll decide in the next few minutes. 57 mins ago
Tired, but trying to get inspired for "The 9pm Edict". I wonder what I'll write about momentarily? 1 hr ago

ABC chair Newman out of line on climate change

11 March 2010 in Ecology, Media, Politics

ABC chair Maurice Newman, who is not a climate scientist or even any kind of scientist at all, is pleased to hear more non-scientists talking about climate science. I reckon that apart from being a tool he’s way out of line.
