A better Internet

If you haven’t heard of the CP80 initiative, it’s time to get informed!  This is a group who is lobbying to divide the Internet up into different ports for different purposes.  Much like cable TV, the CP80 group is interested in creating a community port where there is no access to inappropriate material.  The “adult” [...]

Do not fear

“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.  Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.” – Marie Curie
