World's First Tree-sitting Weblog

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the logging-on dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Amit Asaravala over at Wired News has an interesting article up about the tree-sitters in Humboldt County. Apparently a bunch of tech activists from the Indymedia Center are setting the tree-sitters up with an 802.11b network so that they can blog about all the logging going on up there. Seems like a pretty interesting way to use technology to help the environment, which isn't something you see everyday."

  1. Stop the senseless and inhumane Beaver Picketing!! by OmenChange · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Do you know *exactly* how they picket a beaver? It would turn your stomach to know the details. They are kept in cages too small to even turn around, and that is the best part of their short lives, before the PICKETING begins... Too look at it, you'd never even think they could FIT the picket in the little bucktooth guys...

    We need to get ORGANIZED to stop this insanity!

    BEAVER PICKETING IS MURDER!

  3. Logging Blogging by kryzx · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I hear the bloggers flog the loggers in their blog. It's slashdotted now, that is, the dotters are hogging the blog flogging the loggers. The blog is bogging down, logging 404's. I'm logging this log blog hogging in my blog.
