A good friend of mine works as a professional jazz singer in Shanghai. She recently tried to access my iRevolution blog but without success. However, she did note that Wikipedia is finally accessible as well as other blog sites. The Great Chinese Firewall appears to be filtering my blog. Shucks. In better news though, I successfully defended my dissertation proposal today, so I can finally get back to blogging on a more regular basis.

iRevolutions has 2+Million hits!
I thrive when working across disciplines, building diverse cross-cutting coalitions to create, translate and apply innovative strategies driven by shared values. This has enabled the 20+ organizations I’ve worked with, and those I’ve led, to accelerate meaningful and inclusive social impact.
This is why I've been called a social entrepreneur and a translational leader by successful innovators. President Clinton once called me a digital pioneer, while recent colleagues describe me as kind, dedicated, values-driven, authentic, creative, ethical, and impactful.

Congratulations on your successful defense!
That is all….
first of all, congrats on the defense 🙂
China’s great firewall seems to be blocking the entire wordpress.com platform….one solution for your friend in Shanghai is to read your posts through an rss reader like bloglines or google reader…
Thanks Amine!
On the Firewall, I was under the impression from the recent study, “Access Denied”, that China was now using technology that simply blocked blogs with specific words, i.e., no longer blocking entire blog domain names. In any case, good to know there are workarounds! Thanks for sharing!
