Great news. ICANN has long been kinda shady in how they deal with the US. The ’net at large has pretty much been ours since the advent of DARPANet for the defense department. Technically speaking, the web could very well exist and do what it wants without the US, but the way we get from page to page via domain names and IP address (e.g., thescrabbled.com or 75.127.97.86) is controlled in Reston, Virginia.
After all, Al Gore invented the damn thing.

God that shit was nasty. It looked and tasted like someone had decided to make sea monkeys in a toilet filled with shit.
-Justin, on KombuchaThe Scrabbled is a group of people blogging about and linking to all manner of things. Usually we argue and make fun of each other. Everybody knows everybody through somebody so there are no strangers here. Most of us have even met in real life! If you happen to personally know someone here and would like to start arguing with and/or making fun of someone, shoot John an email and ask to sign up. Otherwise, you're just going to have to read in relative silence. Sorry.
