As readers of this blog know, late March and beginning of April of this year, I helped Wikileaks release the leaked video that showed a US helicopter crew in Baghdad (apparently mistakenly) firing on Reuters journalists and

I got a little tired of the growing number of pages where I can see which of my friends were already there, with the implication that my friends would also see this when I visited somewhere first.

My son Milo has diabetes, which can seriously suck in its own right. But early this morning he had the accident we feared the most: he went unconscious on the stairs. He must have fallen almost the entire distance, because I found him all the way down the stairs against the front door, out cold

I’m in Washington DC right now where I just assisted WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange put on a press conference. Before today I was in Iceland for almost two weeks, yet again without properly seeing it. Apart from that one day at the volcano I haven’t gotten out much. That is to say: I have literally

I’m in Reykjavik again, rushed in to help out with Wikileaks’ ongoing projects. And yesterday we took a day off to see the eruption. All in all we were out of Reykjavik for over 12 hours, and we spent many of these hours making our way over a glacier in a monstrously big 4 wheel

A friend of mine, Sandy Sandfort, writes the script for a science fiction web-comic that I read. So imagine you are me a couple of days ago, clicking the day’s link from my RSS-reader and then this pops up. As it turns out in my other life I am the “Celestial Mechanic” for a space
