“The Great Firewall of China”:http://www.greatfirewallofchina.org/ is a website that tests to see if any given URL is banned under the censorship regime of the Chinese Communists Party. Neither this blog, nor my personal website “elliott-herder.com”:http://elliott-herder.com are banned but one of my favorite blogs “Architectures of Control”:http://architectures.danlockton.co.uk/ by Dan Lockton somehow got on the Chinese black list. Or it a red list?

I don”t have any pictures of the now green mountain to show but there is “this article”:http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/02/14/news/green.php . If you find anything out there on the internets, let us know.
