Iranian MPs bl0g sit-in protests
Iranian MPs bl0g sit-in protests
01/19/2004 03:08 PMUpdate on a
previous BoingBoing post: Persian blogger Hossein Derakshan
points us to a weblog by Iranian MPs protesting a decision to ban
thousands of reformists from next month's Iranian elections.
the good thing is that, apparently, while they have no access to any
Iranian TV or Radio, they've embraced weblogs as a great means of a)
publishing their announcements and program b) reaching the young
Iranians who have long lost their interest in politics whatsoever.

point out that Iranians trust the Net more than any other medium at
this point. No wonder.

David Pescovitz:
Last week, my wife stumbled upon a small monograph of the work of
Iranian graphic designer
Reza
Abedini. Arabic script is naturally beautiful, and I think
Abedini's compositions, with text often a central graphic element, are
incredibly fresh and emotional. Today, my friend Anne Sanger sent me a
link to a great "Who's Who in Iranian Posters" page with links to even
more information about the country's happening graphic design scene.

Iranian Nukes
Iranian Nukes
06/14/2004 12:28 AM
Iran's Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi recently said:
Iran will not give up its rights to the peaceful use of atomic
energy as well as its
right to supply nuclear fuel to its power plants.
OPEC's second
largest oil producing
nation needs nuclear power plants? Note that Iran also
has the world's second
largest natural gas reserve. Hmm. Maybe they have the
world's largest
BS reserves they are dying to export.

"pretty cool" and call it good.
Take one exasperated Iranian woman. Add a computer. Hook
it up to the Internet. "And you have a voice in a country where it's

Boing Boing pal
Scott Beale informs us that our blog just won
Group Weblog of the Year at the
Bloggies. OMG! What a huge honor! Thank you, Bloggies. We honestly
didn't expect this, and we are deeply moved and grateful. There were
many other deserving blogs up for awards, backed by talented folks who
work very hard, and we raise our collective pirate-eye-patches in
their honor:
check 'em all
out. On behalf of my blog-mates
Cory Doctorow,
Mark Frauenfelder, and
David Pescovitz; our wise "band manager"
John Battelle; our sysadmin
par excellence Ken Snider; and the rest of the team and extended
family that makes Boing Boing possible -- a humble thank you. But most
of all, we are grateful to you, our readers, for wasting otherwise
productive time on our collective scrapbook of "wonderful things," and
for pointing us to even more of those wonderful and undiscovered
things each day. We're really sorry that we couldn't make it to
SXSW in person to accept the award,
but we hope you'll join us in celebrating in person tomorrow at
ETCON (
all five of us will be in the same place for the first time).
Boing Boing sprouted online a little over
five years ago, from paper zine roots planted by Mark Frauenfelder
and
Carla
Sinclair. It is a privilege to blog for you. With you, we look
forward to another adventurous year of link-discuss to come.

Update: Holy crap! Reader Nathaneal Heasley
sez, "Not only did BB win best group ‘blog, it won “blog of the
year/best weblog overall” – congratulations!" For those keeping
track, this is the second year in a row Boing Boing has received these
two awards: Link to 2004, Link to 2005. Man. We're
speechless, and overwhelmed by your generosity.

From Hossein Derakhshan's
blog:
"I'm not sure if there is any Cafe for bloggers in other cities, but
there is one in Tehran. Actually it's recently opened in a northern
area of Tehran and Ive heard that it's quite popular among Tehranian
bloggers. It's called Cafe Blog
and based on the website, they held some basic technical workshops for
their members. There
are some photos from
their opening on their website."

Cracking Iranian codes
Cracking Iranian codes
06/15/2004 10:17 AMBruce
Schneier has written an interesting article discussing the
accusation of Ahmed Chalabi of informing Iran that the US had broken
its codes and when Iran knew that the NSA was cracking their codes. He
digs into the history of Crypto AG, the NSA and Iran. He links to an
article about Hans
Buehler, the Crypto AG salesman who was arrested by Iran in 1992
on suspicion that Crypto AG had installed back doors in its encryption
machines. There is no conclusion, but this story reminds me of Crytonomicon and the
interesting world of information, misinformation and spying.

Iranian Blogs challenge President
Iranian Blogs challenge President
12/11/2003 11:53 PM Iranian
bloggers challenge the President in the Summit: It all started
from a post on the
Geneva
Summit's blog, DailySummit, asking Iranians
to report on the Net censorship. Then, they asked
them to post
their questions for the Iranian President,
who was going to have a press conference. Then reporters asked the
questions from the president:
Is the there a blacklist for Iranian websites? Do you read Persian weblogs? How hard is it to connect to the Net in
Iran? Later they asked
tougher questions from the Minister of
Telecommunications: Why don't they public the blacklist? Why Sina
Motallebi, the blogger, was arrested? Isn't the summit about how
technolo
gy benefits democracy and human rights? Blogs can definitely be a
big part of the answer.

Niki Karimi who once was the hottest actress in the
country, showing a rather traditional image of the Iranian women. What
is this change of taste telling about the Iranian society?

Thoughts on Bam earthquake from Iranian
bl0ggers
12/28/2003 06:58 PM
The recent earthquake in Bam, Iran may have claimed as many as 40,000
lives by some estimates. Sorting through the Persian blogosphere,
you'll find a number of sites where residents and expatriates are
posting about this tragedy, and its impact on their country's future.
Hossein Derakshan has
yet to sound out on his English-language site, but there's a post on
his Farsi blog for those who read
Farsi. Among the English-language sites where posts are already out:
Persianblogger.com,
Pesmanesque, Days of My Life In
California, Iranian
Truth, Iranfilter, Eyeranian, HumanFirstT
henaProudIranian. Many more are listed here, including blogs
written in Farsi (there are probably more than 12,000 of them -- here
is a good background piece on the Persian blogosphere, from
Wired News). And finally, Doug Rushkoff (not Persian) has this to say.
BoingBoing welcomes pointers to other sites
sounding out on the Bam earthquake via this form.
