Several of you have noted that your companies are blocking access to Brooklynian.com and you've wondered what you can do about it. Here are a couple of work-around ideas (props to WSJ):
1. Use a proxy (a site that will act as a go-between, traveling to the site you want and displaying it for you). It's true that software that blocks specfic websites will also probably block proxies... but will it block 4,000+ proxies? That's how many proxies are listed at Proxy.org. Try that site and report back if any of them work for you.
using a proxy might be considered a flag for a company's IT department and then they start paying more attention to you and what you're doing. It's better to make friends with an IT person and ask them to unblock it for you instead. _________________ I believe in peace, bitch.

Jay Leno said something last night, to the effect that a leading company in India handling outsourced customer service is itself outsourcing. Where to? (Wait for it...) Ohio! _________________ The only winner in the War of 1812 was Tchaikovsky
