The blog has been moved to http://areyounkay.com. Be sure to update your bookmarks or feeds.

In case you are wondering once again where I’ve been, it’s actually going to be a pretty good week for this site. For one thing, it will be moved to its own domain (name to be determined as I battle the squatters) and incorporate it under this new online brand I am working on. Plus, I can upgrade to Wordpress 2.5 (this blog is hosted with 1.5). Needless to say, the transition will be a pain. I have to:

• find a way to export all of these posts
• turn this entire template from smarty php to plain old php
• upload every graphic again
• make all those improvements I wanted to do but cannot
• if that does not work, redesign the whole thing

Will I be able to post regularly once again. I don’t know. I am still looking for some folks to do most of the posting while I do behind the scenes work. But I can finally get rid of that beta tag that’s been up for the past two years.

Update: Import complete, my new address is http://www.areyounkay.com/. Next, transfer my design.

Disrupting the lighting of the flame

Two protesters from media rights group Reporters Without Borders broke through the cordon of 1,000 police officers in Olympia as China’s envoy spoke.

Activists had vowed to protest over the violence in and around Tibet.

The torch will now be carried around Greece before being sent to China to start a journey through 20 countries, returning to Beijing on 8 August.

The route includes the torch being taken to the top of Mount Everest and through Tibet.

Many activists have this underdog mentality which makes them believe they can justify every action in the name of their cause. This includes acting like a bunch of immature children like this case. I have a bit of sympathy for the plight of ethnic Tibetans, but if they and their supporters want to be treated like human beings, they need to act like one no matter what China or anyone does.

Update: Speaking of immature brats
