[...] Congrats to Laura of lis.dom for her winning EFF 15th Anniversary blog-a-thon essay. Stop what you’re doing and go read it if you haven’t already.

[...] My post “The Medium is Not the Message” over on my other blog won “Best Overall” in the EFF Blog-a-thon. You can read the many other fine posts here or here. I’m deeply honored–and humbled–by this.

Laura, you are a wonderful writer. And so much more so, applied to thought-provoking subject matter. Even a technophobe such as I am can appreciate the significance of the electronic bulletin board.
(your dad would be very proud of you)
Peace –

Brava! Laura, this is an exquisite essay. Good for you!

My father also had a printing press, and he died the week before his 58th birthday, much too soon. I still associate the smell of paper and ink with my father.

I turned to blogging because it is an efficient method of reaching a wide variety of people at a low cost and in an environmentally-friendly way.

Power to the people!

Best regards,
