“In a real sense nonviolence seeks to redeem the spiritual and moral lag that I spoke of earlier as the chief dilemma of modern man. It seeks to secure moral ends through moral means. Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. Indeed, it is a weapon unique in history, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it.”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Nobel Lecture, December 11, 1964

» Google Stands Up for Human Rights in China

We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn, and so over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all. We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China.

6 Changes for 2010

Being a fan of Leo Babauta’s Zenhabits and ‘The Power of Less’ I’m intrigued by his latest project, 6 changes.  In a nutshell, the idea is to cultivate 6 new habits over the course of a year working on each habit for two months.  Having successfully utilized Leo’s suggestions to establish habits in the past, I’ve decided to give the 6 changes method a shot in 2010.  The six changes I’m doing this year are:

  • Shooting photos every day and taking a camera everywhere.
  • Go for a walk every day.
  • Write more.
  • Increase my savings rate.
  • Read more classics.
  • Keep the apartment ‘visitor ready.’


Have ordered a new camera and as soon as it arrives I’m going to start working on the first habit.

How about you?
