He was there as an activist and a citizen journalist, which is no stretch for Brian. He’s lobbed himself into hostile territory ever since I’ve known him: Iraq, Mexico, and now China.

The whole story is here. I received my notification by Josh, who also points out the need to bring this story to a much larger stage than our blogs.

If you can, spread the word far and wide. I’d like to see Brian again soon.

Complete side note: just before the picture above was taken, Brian and I were standing alongside the stage at Video on the Net. He leans over to me and says, ‘I think I’m going to go up there and kick the podium over as the start of my speech.’ I said, please don’t. It would be really messy and cost me money. Now, I wish I’d let him, just because he’s that kind of activist.
