There's been a really cool project to track a camera posted and addressed to Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy. The idea being to test the extent of surveillance and other such freedom stuffs.

Interesting that it doesn't seem to have been stopped for security concerns or whatever.

quoth the BBC:

The artists posted the parcel at a post office in east London on Wednesday at 12:43 GMT. Later, they emailed Mr Assange to explain the project.

"The parcel is a live mail art piece. It is intended as REAL_WORLD_PING, a SYSTEM_TEST inserted into a highly tense diplomatic crisis," the email read, making reference to program code functions.

"Since you took refuge there in June last year, the Ecuadorean embassy in London has been the spectacular staging of an intense clash between the international order and freedom of information activists.

"We want to see where the parcel will end. Which route it takes and whether it reaches you."

Yeah, I barely ever heard of this guy all they are showing on the news right now are shootings so they can scare us into taking our guns away.

So I was watching Real Time with Bill Maher just now...apparently Julian is going to be a guest next week?

I find that a bit hard to believe unless he's going to just do a video thing before the panel.

I'd watch that if I had HBO, that seems like good programming.
