stopwatching.us is a tool for organisation, public figures, business and individuals to signup and call upon “..U.S. Congress reveal the full extent of the NSA’s spying programs..” All sounds very *nice*, **good**, and ***right*** indeed!

I have to go to Hell** again and this time the flights options included Berlin or Borispol/Kiev. People tell me that I HAVE to visit Berlin, and everytime I hear about the place am salivating with notions and ideas. So I thought it could be an opportunity to spend some time in the city and […]
