Note

I'm aware of problems with the Amazon Honor System pay option and have sent an e-mail to the site. Thanks to the folks who've alerted me to the problem. (If anyone knows an alternate method of contacting customer service there please e-mail me that info.)

Rick Rescorla post below is from last year, re-posted for what should be obvious reasons. Any one with current info on the status of that medal please e-mail me.

Thanks to all who've donated to Mudville this week - I'm beginning to think of bigger and better things I can make happen while over there. More on that later.

Slightly off topic, kudos to all my fellow bloggers who helped expose the guard document forgeries. I'm convinced of this: Truth will out in the blogosphere - printed lies can not stand the scrutiny of a million eyes. It's not my main mission but I'll be proud to be a blogosphere 'reporter' from down range the next few months.

The world is different now. The information revolution is in full swing.

Update: Thanks to the good folks at TheCapitol.net for signing up for blogads. I think Mudville may have been the last blog of its size to make them available.

You can now support Mudville by visiting my advertisers; please do so. If you're in the market for blogads, I'm keeping the introductory rates in place for a very few more days. I don't think the readership at this site is going to decrease any time soon.
