World's First Tree-sitting Weblog

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."

Can you imagine a beowulf cluster of trees with hippies in them? Wow!

Discussion Board

I'd love to see some kind of message board on that site (Slashcode?) where people could express their support and ideas about the treesitting, as well as engage in discussion.

But of course they won't do that because these kinds of groups are very unreceptive to criticism and debate. Trolls aside (and what message board doesn't have trolls), I think they would find that their cause and methods are not as accepted or supported as many of them believe.
