It's no secret that I'm pretty damn liberal. Maybe not quite a bleeding-heart, but it does have the occasional leaks. But one area I general find that my more conservative friends and acquaintances and I tend to agree is on things like ultra-oppressive governments such as China. Or, in the current case, the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe.
In my "real world" job, I work for a company in Palo Alto called Topix. You should check the site out, especially if (like me) you're a news junkie. We gather, sift, sort and categorize news articles from tens of thousands of sources. You can get localized news by town name or ZIP code (i.e. Sunnyvale, CA, or 94086), or you can get it on a large number of keywords (such as Britney Spears, Java, U.S. House of Representatives). (How often do you think you'll see those three terms in a single phrase?) You can get all you want as RSS feeds, no less, plucked by your favorite feed reader. I'm a Google Reader man, myself.
Anyway, today I am the proudest of my company I have been since starting here last December. For today, I learned that our site is one of many censored by the aforementioned Zimbabwean government for "promoting a negative image of Zimbabwe and its people."
Aw shucks, Bobby-M... we love you too!
