I recently attended the Cyber Dissidents Conference at the Bush Institute in Dallas. A wrap up of the conference can be seen in this video from Ideas in Action.

While the last post on this blog dates back to December last year, I have never been this active in my five plus years of blogging. The Persian Kamangir was recently nominated for the best Persian blog by DW-World and I have had closer contact with the Persian media organizations outside Iran. To put it shortly, blogging for the Iranians needs to be done in the language they use, and that’s exactly what I am doing. As of today, Kamangir’s feed has over 6,000 feed subscribers, according to Google’s Feed Burner.

Follow my Persian blog at persian.kamangir.net (feed). You can also use Google Translate, which suspiciously manages to produce some form of poetry out of my mostly social-oriented posts.
