Announcements
Taiwan 2.0
I wanted to announce two projects which I think should be useful for English speaking residents of the Taiwanese interweb:
First is a Yahoo! Pipes feed which aggregates Michael, David, and Bent’s roundups of the English language blogsphere in Taiwan. That’s one RSS feed just for their link roundup posts. You can view it on the […]
Yes Logo
One of our main goals for the film is to create awareness about the plight of India’s Denotified Tribes, but we also want to turn that awareness into direct action. To this end we’ve been working hard to set up a US-based 501c3 nonprofit which can collect donations on the behalf of the communities we […]
Media Transparency
If you don’t know Cursor or the Center for Media Transparency, you should. Cursor is the premier alternative news aggregation site. Since the start of the Iraq war they have been playing an important role aggregating the best of the blogsphere, making it easy for the rest of us to know what’s out there. Similarly, […]
Tweets vs. Lifelog
As of now I will stop posting tweets to this blog. Once again this blog will become a space reserved for long-form blogging. You can continue to read my tweets in the sidebar on the right, or over at my Twitter page.
At the same time, I’ve stopped using Twitter as a feed aggregator to create […]

kerim.oxus.net
A long overdue complete overhaul of my homepage. I think the new version is cleaner and easier to navigate, while at the same time actually containing more dynamic content. I also try to do a better job of advertising my other projects, such as Savage Minds and the film. Altogether I’m fairly pleased with the […]
Vanity
Vanity is having a dashboard widget (Mac OS X only) for all of your own web feeds. I doubt anyone out there, except perhaps my mother, will want to install this, but I had some fun making it so I thought I’d share it anyway.
It was very simple actually. I used Dashcode to make a […]
Offline
I’ll be offline for much of the next two weeks, and with limited access for the third week.
Till then, here is a picture of a camel we passed as we drove out of Chharanagar yesterday.
Edwards 08
Since it has now been officially announced, I’d like to throw in my endorsement:
Over the next two years I’ll be writing an ongoing series of posts about why Edwards is the best man for the job, but the main reason is quite simple … He isn’t afraid to speak out about poverty and inequality. Even […]
Google Video
I’m happy to announce that DER has made Acting Like a Thief available from Google Video. You can, of course, still download the movie for free from our web site using bittorrent, but for those who want it the easy way you can get a high-quality download from Google Video for $19.95, or a day […]
