			<![CDATA[ I remember the weird high of talking to Russian people via a modem and a BBS in the 80s, talking from Finland via a little box called a "modem", that was a secret between me, people in different countries, and nothing the government could even begin to understand. <br /><br />Then some of them started to talk about tanks.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/about-the-net/Usenet/soviet.coup" >http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/about-the-net/Usenet/soviet.coup</a> ]]>

			<![CDATA[ Back at the time it was massively awesome and interesting to follow this thing unfold. There were some BBS's that polled information from usenet, and I had been talking with people who had a net access in for example St. Petersburg. I was 16 then, a cyberpunk nerd, but even then I didn't fully realize how awesome it was to see history in the making through a completely new form of media. ]]>

			<![CDATA[ Not quite the same thing, but I'm reminded of back in '99 when I first got onto the net. I used to visit a website run by a guy in Serbia. Then the Kosovo war broke out and the site went into semi-shutdown, with a note saying that he wasn't sure when he'd be able to maintain the site again, since his first priority was worrying about he or his family being blown up by a US bombing raid.<br /><br />He ended up coming through it OK, but it sort of brought home to me just how connected the internet was making us all. ]]>

			<![CDATA[ I knew people who, just after Tiananmen were, chatting online with a friend in Beijing who excused himself for a minute to answer the door.<br /><br />Last I heard, which was several years later, the Chinese friend had never been heard from again. ]]>
