1. anybody would notice
2. that she might never figure out how to undo a blackout
but it's kind of important to pay attention to this stuff. You can check out the news here or just watch the video if you haven't seen it yet.
Over the weekend the Stop Online Piracy Act legislation was delayed as 'outstanding concerns' needed to be addressed. This doesn't mean the law has been defeated but only that it could return once a consensus has been reached. That's why many sites will participate in a scheduled blackout tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Crow swears he isn't going to be soused and falling off his perch, that he will instead be enjoying the sober company of his friends:

Notsure howtoturn off blogs for a day either. Still what the US does affects us all.
ReplyDeleteI love the Crowboarding!
Go Crow! Let's start a new movement ... Occupy the Internet! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnother good thing: Occupy Congress was today, though you wouldn't know it by attending to mainstream news. I'm off now to dig for specifics.
ReplyDeleteA crow snow sliding on a jar cap - who could have guessed! Delightful! :-)
jams - Yes, the proposed internet legislation would have powerful repercussions.
ReplyDeleteCrows just like to have fun.
francis - I thought we were occupying it - or at least preoccupied by it.
gina - I'm so fed up with the msm I could spit. News coverage was far better when it was of shorter duration and informative.
Yes, if he'd done it only once it would have been an anomaly but doing over again was a true delight to watch.
I don't know how to black out my blog either, but I'm with them in spirit. And how clever of Crow to discover snowboarding!
ReplyDeleteWhy are you opposed to SOPA anyway? I’m on the side of musicians and copyright holders generally.
ReplyDeleteWhen Sophie and I watched the crow video, we thought of you!
ReplyDeletemarja-leena - I think being with them in spirit is fine. Wasn't that a great video?
ReplyDeletevincent - I'm on the side of writers and musicians too but the SOPA legislation as written is far too vague and would allow for general censorship. You should have a look at my link or watch the video.
lisa - I certainly hope so.
Thank you, Crow. And thank you for the last video too. It's amazing.
ReplyDeleteI read that the actions of the day were having an impact in Washington. Here's hoping!
We give credit to dogs and cats for intelligence - but nothing compared to crows and ravens. They not only problem solve, but have the ability to communicate within the murder and have higher level thinking skills that can allow them to invent games for fun. The research on crows is interesting and worth following.

by the way; good post - i agree.
Why did Crow cross the road?

@ Vincent:
ReplyDeleteIn case I do seem impertinent: it is intended. And thus I do repeat what I wrote at Francis'.
I am on the side of musicians / artists, too. Still, I do not agree with you.
Actually, I am kind of glad that there seems to be at least one topic on this planet you've not have had the time, yet, to thoroughly inform yourself about.
The peace of the night.
lydia - We're both glad you enjoyed the delightful video - yes, amazing is the word. Let's hope this legislation gets the reaction it deserves. Do you also get the feeling we're always fighting rearguard actions?
ReplyDeleteol'buzzard - The more I know about crows in the world the happier I am that Crow has been a long-term friend.
randal - Time Warner better not catch you singing Happy Birthday in public either - not that I can imagine you doing so.
sean - I was surprised Vincent hadn't picked up on the ramifications too but I have confidence in him.
where does grow buy his boots? must have....
ReplyDeletei am sick of politics...just sick... and had no idea how to black out anything either....but love your drawing of crow, he's such a specimen of good taste.
much love....xoxoxo
"grow"....?
ReplyDeletewell, it's still early....sort of.....xox
Stopped by to see what you had to say. Hope all is good with allm of you.
ReplyDeletePeace
linda - I knew what you meant :-) Crow and I share a love for red boots although he does have footwear in many colors (unlike me). I hate politics too. In fact, I'm beginning to wonder if all the republican candidates aren't plants to make Obama look good.
ReplyDeletexoxo
spadoman - Nice to see you've been by. Sorry my posting has been infrequent of late. I hope you're well.
Peace
