China Blocks My Website?

I didn't know China was blocking my website. Somebody accidentally found it and told me so.
- Internet censorship in the People's Republic of China
- Why can I not reach your site or my Dynamic DNS host from China or Hong Kong?
Maybe, it's time to get a domain for this website. Not being able to make friends who are in China sounds suck. Don't you agree?
Watching A Geek Show

I just enjoyed watching Digital underground.tv episode 4. The good is they don't talk too geeky or smart-assy. If you think you don't know what to do with your geek life or looking for more fun with it, this show might bring you some insights, maybe?
Sound of Higurashi

The most humid and hottest month of year is August in Japan (or is it so in most places in the northern hemisphere?) Anyway, Since I moved to here, a small village in the mountain side of Japan. I've been enjoying hearing the sound of Higurashi cicada at the evenings of hot summer days. Their sounds are nicer than other kinds of cicadas, which are loud in hot day time.
I wanted to give a hint of what I am talking about to those who think Japan is still in the mystery part, so I am posting the sound here. (finally!)
Excuse me if the quality of the sound is not good for you. This was my first try recording the sound. I would suggest not to set your volume to high though. I hope you enjoy!
Updated: I added Odeo player for this audio file, so you can play the sound easier.
