Something's censored in Denmark

Oddly, I can listen to Howard Stern at my hotel, but I can't visit his website.

I can't do (AIM-based) instant messaging or send email either. At least not through my own mail server. So my outbound mail and Jabber IM is going through gmail. Handy bypass there.

By the way, it's only the hotel that's doing this. Otherwise, it's a very nice. And the connection is free, which is good.

[Later...] A Danish friend writes, "Blame the Americans". And sends this link. So I guess I can thank this "award winning firewall" for piles of sites I can't visit, mail I can't send, and IMs I can't exchange. Value subtraction out the wazoo.

Quote du jour

Craig Smith: Meaning it's still easier to buy a handgun in Texas than it is to buy a vibrator.

Now, breakfast before the restaurants close

Got to Copenhagen.

My luggage is still in Seattle. Should be here late tomorrow, though.

It's evening here, though I slept on the plane, so it's like morning to me.
