china’s idiocy strikes again!
Jun 4th
From Shanghaiist:
Earlier today, CNN anchor and Beijing correspondent John Vause was filming in Tiananmen Square, Beijing when he suddenly encountered a man holding an umbrella who won’t step away from his cameraman’s lens. Maybe it’s the matching umbrella and pants, but this goes down in our book as the silliest censorship effort ever.
Come on China. This is just straight up embarrassing. If you’re going to exercise some government holier-than-thou power, at least do it in respectable uniforms. Did you really think, “Oh, if we have plainclothes cops with umbrellas, maybe the rest of the world will just think our citizens are rude instead of our embarrassment of a government flopping around like a dying fish on the world stage”? Probably not. That thought is FAR too advanced for your little communistic minds.

So in the spirit of Web 2.5 (the logical progression between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0), we’ve put up a site/blog up at http://www.georgeandlinda.com.
In our advancement towards Web 2.7, we also have a Twitter feed! Follow our adventures at @georgeandlinda.
Once we get the Facebook fan page up and the iPhone app in the App Store, we should be getting pretty close to Web 3.0.

Yes. That’s right. Be jealous. It’s a completely normal feeling. Embrace the envy.
That’s like almost $100 worth of coffee you’re looking at right there.
We’ve redefined office coffee.
