Technical Difficulties
People make jokes about what we call "The Great Firewall of China." Most of the time, I cannot view this blog, nor any of yours. I send posts via Dennis Cope, our good friend, who is pictured above with his wife Marie and his late dog, Maddie. I was briefly able to see the blogs today,but the system shut down when I tried to post. Google images and Gmail have also gone down.
Proxy-based software such as Freegate sometimes allows one to bypass Chinese information control. I learned about Freegate from a Chinese teenager last summer. Would it worked better.

I was a professor of curriculum and instruction at East Tennessee State University and am now in emeritus status. Currently, I teach English composition part-time at George Mason University. I have taught in Cincinnati, Turkey, China and the Czech Republic.
