Blogging Iran...

I have to say that I have been totally drawn into the recent events in Iran. I was sucked in over the weekend by the Huffingtonpost's live blogging and now am checking in quite regularly. It is remarkable how much more information is available on various blogs than in the media. That said, there have been a number of examples of information that has been retracted after being posted in error or just being false to start with. I remember being glued to CNN 20 years ago in June watching the Tianamen Square protests and aftermath. Now I'm glued to my computer and the traditional media have just begun to pay some attention to these events in earnest.

    Not having a good computer at home, and avoiding campus, I've been stuck with the tv, which really boils down to the few commentary shows I can stomach: Maddow and Olberman (sometimes), Stewart and Colbert. I wish I knew more--it is certainly fascinating. I also wish we lived closer so we could talk about it over our coffee every day. That could go for you, too, Lutz-Clemens.
