Here’s a quote from the article:

A self-proclaimed “geek,” Champion resident Leonard A. Flack had never contacted a federal representative before.

That was until Democratic Rep. William L. Owens became a co-sponsor of the Stop Online Piracy Act, a piece of legislation that is aimed at curtailing the theft of copyrighted material but has been criticized by tech giants and everyday geeks alike as overly broad and damaging to the Internet.

“I’m not big on anything that messes with (the Domain Name System) or gives the government wide, sweeping authority to go in and shut down websites footloose and fancy free,” said Mr. Flack, who describes himself politically as independent-minded and “liberty-focused.”

I think it’s an excellent piece. Check out the rest of the article here: “As sites black out in SOPA protest, Owens hears from critics”

(Note: It will be posted on the WDT site for the next week or so; then it will be archived.)

Long Overdue...

Seeing as how it’s been over a year since I’ve done anything constructive with this space, I thought it might be a good time to hit the reset button.

My good friends at Alphasites spent some time working with me to get everything upgraded and working smoothly. The site is now hosted on a newer server, and I’m very pleased with things “under the hood”.

Content-wise, I’ve decided to scrap all my previous posts, since much of it was geek-related stuff that is now outdated. Fresh stuff to come, Lord willing!
