This post will later contain pictures. That's great. Maybe it'll have videos, too. I have a great one of the view out the left hand side of the Keisei high-speed line as it carries me to the Narita airport. For now check out the one below of the JR Yamanote line near the Shinjuku and Harajuku areas of Tokyo:
So the point is, I really want blogger to work when I'm in China. So I need to find a VPN.
The way this one VPN I use, Hotspot Shield, works is simple. It encrypts your internet requests using a secure key, then asks a server here in America to make that request on your behalf. It sends the response back to you in an encoded format, so your HTML requests never get blocked by your truly ubiquitous Chinese "Golden Shield."
Project Golden Shield was designed by some twisted fiend of ignorance to make my life, and the life of everybody on the wrong side of China's "virtual great wall" a total pain. I just want to write posts on Blogger and check my friends' statuses on Facebook. I don't even care that I can't read Icelandic PM Jonsdottir's Twitter.
Sounds simple, right?
Okay I'm being facetious. I just want a simple way to do it. I don't want to have to pull up a proxy to update my blogspot. I think I have a lot of great things to say over there, when I'm in China. I just want to help this harmony they keep talking about. You know? Tong yi ge shijie, tong yi ge mengxiang--one world, one dream.
Well maybe they don't care what I have to say. Maybe they just want to keep letting a robot tell them what's safe to look at.
That video is coming soon. I just need to upload it to youtube.com--which is also blocked in China.
