self-aware automaton, powered by tea, wired for awesome.
Jason here. I'm a student of classical Chinese medicine and a massage therapist practicing Zero Balancing. My soul was forged from sky iron, fired in dragon's breath, tempered in a river in Southern Maryland, and etched with the Dhamma. The curious work of metallurgy you see before you is a steam-powered automaton from an era that never was. You might see him ambling around the city of Portland, OR.
In this bitty micro blog, you will find miscellaneous ponderments and a chronicle of my (sometimes brief) fascinations, extending to matters of mind, healing, spirituality, social media, science, parenting, memes, entrepreneurship, and most things nerdy, whimsical and sublime.

Help Protesters in Iran: Run a Tor Bridge or a Tor Relay | Electronic Frontier Foundation
Internet users in Iran are using Tor to both (a) circumvent censorship systems and (b) remain anonymous while reading and writing on the Internet. Both are critically important to the safety of protesters, many of whom fear retaliation from the government. Preliminary reports indicate that use of the Tor client in Iran has increased in the days after the contested election.
However, Tor's design relies on a robust network of "volunteer computers" (a.k.a. relays) to pass messages back and forth. This means that the speed and quality of a Tor users' browsing experience relies extensively on the number of volunteer computers there are to pass messages along. This is where volunteers can make a difference
