It’s the James Brown school of journalism.

Having lived in Germany for five years, I have experienced one of the most expensive, inept postal service in Europe.

Be afraid, Britain, be very afraid.

Just a quick update to yesterday’s entry. I was chatting with Ben Hammersley earlier and we had a nice talk about syndicating RSS files.

He’s back from Tehran…

"I’m working on an article for the Guardian on the Internet in Iran. Most of the cybercafes were shut down last year, but perhaps not for the reason you might think…Stay tuned for the full story."

I can’t wait. This is the same guy that interviewed Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest in Burma.:

"My interview was recorded in three ways: on a tiny "memory stick" taped to the inside of my thigh; a Dictaphone tape that went into my pocket as bait; and halfway through a bootleg Good Morning, Vietnam soundtrack I had picked up in Bangkok that went into my bag with some other tapes I had bought."
