 The question does not get more savagely blunt: Do you want government running your Internet -- deciding what is permissible content, or what could land you in jail?

That debate is not academic. It is happening in real time, as you read this, in Nairobi, Kenya, at this year’s Internet Governance Forum.

Haven’t heard of the IGF? Join the club. Created out of an initiative by then UN Secretary General Kofi Annan in 2006, the IGF is an attempt to impose some UN-style supervision on the Internet Wild West. A lot of what it covers is the expected: how to stop spam, how to protect children, how to bring the Internet to rural communities... Hard to get much friction on those topics.

Live Fully


For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.


Isaiah 55:12


DANCE


REST


GET RETAIL THERAPY


SLEEP A LITTLE


KISS A LOT


RELAX IN NATURE


HAVE FUN


GIGGLE A LOT


SCREAM AT THE TOP OF YOUR VOICE


TAKE A BUBBLE BATH


AND BE HAPPY
DO YOU FEEL LIKE WORKING TODAY?

TOMORROW?
NEXT WEEK?
NEXT MONTH?

Me Neither!
I just want to party!



You have a great day!
Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly!
Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably
And never regret anything that made you smile.
