I’m not going to describe Oral Roberts as an evangelist. CNN and the other guys have already done that. I’m going to call him a conman. Apparently raising $8 million only buys you enough life to get to 91. His hair was 23.
Tor is a program that allows people to bypass firewalls and use the internet anonymously. Communications from Iran are being actively filtered and they are trying to block some proxies too. As a human being I believe that censorship is wrong and that the people of Iran have a choice in who leads them. The rest of the world doesn’t have a right to tell them what to do but we have a duty to help them be able to communicate and choose for themselves.
I am no longer asking people to post their personal bridges here. Please email them to irancurtain at iansbrain dot com. I will verify them and forward them on to people who can use them without drawing attention. Please install Tor and setup a bridge but don’t post it publicly. You can download Tor and the Vidalia bundle below.
Download Tor
Download Tor in Farsi
There are three ways of running Tor. You can set your choice in the Vidalia control panel.
Click Settings.
Click Sharing.
The first way is as a client. This is for people who are general Tor users.
The second is to run as a relay. This allows your computer to directly share its connection with the general Tor network. You can set instructions for what content you will allow to be accessed through your relay.
The third is to run as a bridge. Bridges allow users with your fingerprint code to tunnel through networks where Tor is being blocked and access the Tor network through your computer. Click Help Censored Users Reach The Tor Network. Your custom Tor bridge link will show where I have it underlined in green.
If you have direct contact with people you know in Iran please only send it to them. DO NOT POST IT HERE! They might really need it and we don’t want the IP blacklisted. If you don’t know anyone personally email your bridge to irancurtain at iansbrain dot com and I’ll add it to the list.

Please help people in Iran have access to open communications during this time of unrest. If you want please Stumble this site or Digg it or Tweet it. Or link to it anyway you can! We’re Iran’s IT department now.
I don’t know to what extent phones have been compromised but I setup a Google Voice hotline that will call your phone and let you leave a voicemail with information, sounds from protests or even your opinions on the protests in Iran.
I am donating webspace for people to share photos and videos from Iran. Please email files to irancurtain at iansbrain dot com. 25mb limit for now.
You can also upload photos and videos to my FTP. Go to:

Networks are already overloaded and don’t need the extra stress.
They can’t stop us all!
I just came across this article about an attempt to scientifically quantify what makes a song terrible and to create an abomination over at Wired. I think science may have finally gone to far. I can’t stop listening to it.

Komar & Melamid and David Soldier’s list of undesirable elements included holiday music, bagpipes, pipe organ, a children’s chorus and the concept of children in general (really?), Wal-Mart, cowboys, political jingoism, George Stephanopoulos, Coca Cola, bossanova synths, banjo ferocity, harp glissandos, oompah-ing tubas and much, much more. It’s actually a fascinating listen, worthwhile for the opera rapping alone. (We didn’t think that was possible either.) – Wired
You can download a MP3 of this song over on Wired’s Page
This is an audio palindrome I found while working on a lipsync animation one time. It sounds the same whether you play it forwards or backwards. Download the MP3 and give it a try. The sound files is a clip of Statler and Waldorf from the Muppets.

I made this song right after Timmy showed up on South Park. Even though it’s a terrible song I still had fun making it.
