Kael In Iraq

Posted 08 Mar, 2005 at 13:21 by blue in /World | Permanent link

Okay... so as it turns out, I actually found another person named Kael and it isn't our own Kael over there.

This Kael is however in Iraq as an independent journalist. Her work and several others can be found at Iraq Uncensored. The real question is, is it truely uncensored?

Just for kicks, I did some searching. I did a whois rquest on goddard.com and got Larry Goddard who works at waveguidestudios (.com) and has a bio in there on him. It's not clear at this point then what the association is (business or personal). Having just attempted to go to the site it appears to be no longer there. It does seem to be a personal site as the site IP address is 66.152.98.205 which appears to be owned by powweb.com. Either that a site for doing work in progress? I tried to google the site as well and didn't get any links at all other than the site itself.

I believe this is another of that site: http://www.mothers-milk.org/IraqUncensored/iuindex.html. Haven't dug on this host though. Wave Guide Studios does focus on building web sites for others as a business. Could this be propaganda? Haven't looked enough at the site to get an idea of what it is trying to convey however.

Hows & Whys
Who we are

Blue has been known to toss a disc around a field from time to time, and thinks that you should as well. He lives either on the Internet or in Toronto, depending on your perspective. Ask him no questions and there's a good chance he'll tell you no lies. [Site]

Brent hosts the box from which we dangle our conversations, for which we are all eternally grateful. Gratitude is most easily expressed in small bills. Formerly a pawn of the Evil Empire (or maybe a Knight), he has gone over the wall and now toils at a small computer game company in Alberta that no one except for ten million gamers has ever heard of. [Site]

Kael occasionally gets called "Mike"; mostly by people who don't know him. He cooks, he cleans, he maintains Unix servers... what else could you ask for? Currently a slave to the Man, by which we mean retail sales. He has secret plans, but we can't tell you about them. In fact, we've already said too much. [Site]

Lisa is a recreational therapist without a cause. She entertains dreams of ruling over an empire of scrapbooking. Has a well-deserved reputation for enthusiasm, common sense, and tiredness. Ask her about her teapots, but don't touch them.

Matt is just this guy, you know? A mathematician by training and a layabout by inclination; he currently has an Urban Commuter Campus in the American Midwest convinced that they should pay him for plying these trades. The designer and administrator of this site, which means in a sense this is all his fault. [Site | E-mail]

Sky is a salesman during the day. At night he doesn't bother: his words are like unto those of a god, and you can agree or you can be wrong. Lives in the World of Warcraft, with a sattelite office in Toronto. Known to play games on occasion.

Wendy has never run away to join the circus, but pursuing graduate work in medical imaging is perhaps just as good. She didn't choose her current abode on the basis of proximity to a Toronto Public Library branch, but we wouldn't put it past her. Married to one of the other authors here, but you'll have to read the archives to find out which one. [Site]
