But, my day as head of Google's PR was fun. Hope I didn't cause too many ruffled feathers over there. I can only take fighting one company a week! Heheh.

On a more serious note, Rebecca MacKinnon continues her tracking of what's going on on the Chinese blogs and points today to Nina Wu, sister of the detained filmmaker and blogger Hao Wu.

You know, if the worst thing that happens to me is I get some pointed questions that I didn't answer well from a CTO of a public company, or get some nasty personal comments, then I am very fortunate. In many places in the world writing your thoughts can get you killed or thrown in jail. Or worse.

When people ask "does blogging matter?" I'll just answer "well, if it doesn't, then why is the Chinese government throwing people in jail because of their blogs?"

PS, tomorrow I'll change the time on my server to match Pacific Time instead of European time.
