Banned In Beijing!

chinaWell, this would explain my pathetic traffic. The Chinese government, fearful of my growing reputation for providing utterly unproductive and bourgeois Flash games, has blocked this fine blog. At least that's my interpretation.

The test isn't definitive -- it routes the URL through one server in China and sees if it can load the page, so it's a limited sampling.

Needless to say, I would wear it as a badge of pride that a totalitarian, evil regime would find me subversive enough to censor. In case I haven't been blocked already, I'll just say this: Tiananmen Square -- yay! Falun Gong -- yay! 2008 Olympics -- boo! Mao Tse-tung -- boo!

And speaking of that last example, stop changing the way you spell stuff every couple of years. Why the hell should we care if it's closer to the way you pronounce things?

That should do it.
